However, I think SugarCRM still doesn't quite get it...It's been said before over and over again: - A public subversion repository - A mailing list (the Developers forum just isn't quite sufficient) - A working bug system (I have submitted bugs that are still "Open" after more then a year) - A team that actually responds to comments I do think that quite a lot of open source minded folks don't see Sugar as a 'real' open source project. And that's why there's so little input and you still have to code yourself. PS: I see that your code contribution form was off line for 2-3 months before you noticed that it actually was. Nuff said I think.. You certainly have a point. However, I think SugarCRM still doesn’t quite get it…It’s been said before over and over again:
