[Vtigercrm-developers] Roadmap 6.5 and 7

[Preexo]

I have only started using vtiger since a year, so I am relatively fresh to
this open source project and I did not experience vtiger before version 6.1. 
Still I can tell that the contribution in the open source project by the
vtiger company have slowed down dramatically. I can only imagine how badly
it must feel if you know the old vtiger, the slow down must feel even
heavier.

The change to gitlab could have started a really great new time with many
changes from the community, collaboration, users totally unrelated to the
vtiger company making it an awesome product, because that's what open source
is about, right...? 
It didn't... The change to gitlab only made more transparent how little
interest vtiger has in community changes and driving the open source project
to something awesome. Well done vtiger...

So yeah, I would also love to see a fork by the team you suggest @Stacey! 
In case the fork is not going to happen, could Alan, Alan, Joe, Andrea,
Simone, Manuel, Conrado share with us why this is not an option to them? As
far as I have understood all of you are living of selling consultation and
CRM customization to companies... wouldn't it make sense to have your own
product? Who knows if you would do it so much better than vtiger in the end,
but at the moment anything is better, really....
Like Stacey, I also hope you give it a think.

Until then I will stick with this (Yetiforce might be awesome, but I don't
like the vibes from that project) and add commits and merge requests to a
project that no one ever knows if they stand a chance making their way into
the core, not even getting any feedback, what other choice do I have? I feel
very dependent since a long time already (having bought all those fancy
extensions that fill the gap of vtigers core), well done again vtiger... you
destroyed any left freedom and openness.
