<p>One point you seem to have missed is that these are community forums - it is not only the developers posting here. Your frustration with OpenLP for having philisophical arguments is misplaced.</p>
<p>Another point you seem to have missed is that we are all volunteers. None of the developers works on OpenLP full time. I'd gladly work on OpenLP full time, and make everyone's dreams come true, but I need to be paid to do so.</p>
<p>Lastly, since we are an open source project, we do attempt to be transparent. However, we are all humans, and we don't always manage to be. And when someone posts a feature request, we do take note of it, even if we don't always respond. That's a lot better than most commercial software packages, which simply give you a sales template reply to any e-mails.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, getting in touch with the actual developers, as opposed to just the community, is really simple. There is a web IRC chat on this site which allows you to pop into our IRC channel (which, by the way is not just for developers) and ask us questions. We're mostly around between 10am and 10pm UTC (GMT). You are more than welcome to pop in and ask us anything you want.</p>
<p>Of course this is all presuming you've read the Frequently Asked Questions document, which we link to at the top of the download page. The FAQ contains a lot of information about OpenLP and is highly recommended reading by anyone who wants to use OpenLP.</p>
<p>Lastly, I want to ask everyone to please be kind and considerate when you post here. If you are frustrated, and I know many of us are (especially the developers, who find themselves answering the same questions over and over again), please take a deep breath and speak to each other in love.</p>
<p>pFlux, you are welcome to come into IRC and ask me for my e-mail address so that you can e-mail me directly, should you so desire. My nick is "superfly" and my timezone is SAST (UTC+2).</p>
