That is what I like to say, too.

The problem with the dev team for ext commerce is not that nothing was 
provided!
The problem is, like with many other teams, the *communication*.

Nothing is communicated, so nothing ios provided! This is a totally 
normal (re)action. So no need for the team to grumble.

Communicate things in a way that many people get this information - 
communicate "open" like the intension and passio0n of "open source 
software" is.

So if things are communicated properly people are very willing to 
contribute -> because they know what they are contributing for!

I have to say it again:

Many people are really hot for this extension but the team just keeps 
quiet.
I, and the open source community can not understand this!
Sorry!

BTW also a REAL time scedule in the wiki or project page will do wonders 
for people reading - so they don't ask every week, when ext will be ready!


So please do not mistake me! Be sure this is a way of constructive 
critizism . noting else!

:-))

Happy communicating!

:-D
