Re: Dictionaries, practical question

> Also note there is no open bugfixing after a major release. You have to pay enterprise support prices for that.

I have to correct this: eXist is completely open source and paying customers don’t get any fixes you cannot also get from the public repository. The open source code is always first!

The reason why we introduced a paid LTS version for customers was to get them to use a defined version we have checked and approved. But I can safely state that the income generated by LTS (not to be confused with enterprise support) is not covering the costs involved for back porting fixes and producing a release, so we’re currently rethinking this concept. For sure the best and preferred solution would be to get more help from the community in this area. People often think you need to be a code hacker to contribute to open source, but that’s not true. Keeping an eye on issues, testing things, writing documentation, making sure the next release is finally getting out, is more important from my perspective than contributing another nifty feature XY.
