To respond to all messages in this list is impossible.

Developper use bugzilla. the advance is to preserve post to infinite
instead some week for a mailing list.

Information is shared between developpers and other users : it's
public. We manage talk, history, and solution. It's a clean QA tool
for developpers.

A mailing is not a clean tool for developpers. It's the hell to manage in time.

This is why developpers are not too active in this mailling. For small
problem, it's fine, for indeep problems which need long reflexions,
it's impossible to do. The solution is to use bugzilla instead.

We are aware of users feedback of course. this is the goal of open source.

This is is to share information between users as experience and
feedback. It's not a developper room.
