The fact that there may be a contribution isn't of much help, especially as they do not provide all the functionality that is required. The use of contributions also creates more and more work whenever you update your code and have to do a re-install (as well as having to get them to work).

There are plenty of people that want to help to get essential contributions implemented in to the base code (either through doing the coding, or by making financial contributions), yet they are not allowed to assist.

For example, I'd be more than happy to donate £50GBP, if we can get decent order editing built in to the base code. I'm sure others would be more than happy to donate as well.

A lot of my time is wasted through having to perform extra work that wouldn't be required, if some essential contributions were merged.

I understand that the core developers are busy and have limited spare time, but surely this should be even more reason to allow others to assist.

Waiting until post MS4 for contributions to merged just isn't acceptable.
