--- Comment #48 from Brendan <KDE at Coupe7.com> ---
As a user for almost 20 years I find this comment pretty insulting to the
developers and the users.

"kmm is not for the masses, it is an experimental tool with no visible
development, non existent documentation and "mail lists"."

Go find a version from 20 years ago and tell me there has been no visible
development. I'm extremely glad that's not what I was told before I started
using KMM. I have found the developers to be very helpful when I run into
issues and Thomas has gone way above and beyond helping track down online
banking issues for me over the years.

While development has essentially stopped on 5.1 for a while now, that's
because the focus is on the master version, which you are welcome to run. Of
course, it's not released so it's actually experimental to some degree.

The Yahoo issue has been a problem, but blaming the KMM team make little sense.
It would be nice to find the perfect solution, but sometimes that's in the eye
of the beholder. I have no problem editing the Yahoo settings when there is a
problem. Tracking down the latest settings is usually as easy as asking on the
mailing list if you don't find it there already. I also compile KMM weekly
(when things were changing) so updating through the code works for me but
releases are pretty rare so that's not a great option for everyone. Maybe a
simple link on the  "Update Stock and Currency" window to a web page that has
the latest settings for online quotes would help. Maybe a link to the KMM
Online Quote Settings page in the same window would also help, but I'm not sure
that's possible with the existing code.

For now, I hope they focus on releasing the master and then maybe some wishlist
items can get in their queue.

They say you get what you pay for but I think KMM is an example where we get a
lot more than we pay for.

I suggest you either offer helpful suggestions and deal with what we have or
find some other program to track you finances. Or better yet, join the
development team and make some visible improvements.
