I'm one of the team member that have been replaced. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to give the time that I have to spend on this project due to personal and other problems which I needed to address, because of that, I've been inactive and did not had any help at all to the project.
I'm glad that the project is continuously progressing forward. Personally, I believe that this project will be great in its later years, with its members being passionate and real, I have no doubts about that.
