I think Rain can be anything a committed team wants it to be. And lets be honest, it's already a nice project, yet it needs some love.
Personally, I'm compassionate towards Dev since he could have some things he has to deal with unseen by us. So I'll wait patiently and respectfully.
Yet, I do have certain hopes and wishes for this project, and it would be great if Dev and the community could get into communication about the possibilities. We'll see.
