When I read all posts here, I can only agree. To make a conclusion. The dev team is communicating very poor. The community is guessing what is going on. Are the devs active and not communicating or did they already stop their activities. A big community can achieve a lot when managed the right way. This community needs a leader who explains what the dev-team is working on and what the dev-team likes the communtiy to work on. We have/had a big community that could have done a lot. Now it looks like a whole bunch of talented people are just out of work.

Even if the dev-team has big plans and is working on big projects, I still think they made a mistake by not contracting a guy, that would do the communication with the community. A person that would inform the community about all ongoing projects and also a guy who would get the community excited to help wherever they were needed.
