I'm glad you got the credit part right. Prasad is indeed doing his best. We
have a team focusing on the cloud version. While the minor releases get
some minor enhancements from cloud version, and contributions from
community, it is the major releases that will bring the major changes from
cloud version. Major releases happen once every 2 to 3 years.

I know you are saying it with the best of intention. But, as far as my code
contributions go, open source is perhaps better off without it.  Prasad
will not blink twice to reject anything i contribute :-) . My coding skills
are rusty at best, and i hate giving him more grief.
