Wed May 4 10:30:14 GMT 2016

Prasad, I think Preexo have all the reason to ask a deep detailed roadmap.
We really need to plan our work for the future.

> But... you summarized a bit too much, I am missing some important deatails.
> I understand that everyone is busy and you are also fed up with the open
> source community complaining the whole time, but for us it's only possible

> What defines "less core framework changes" and what features from the on
> demand are on the plan for open source?

> How much core changes will be merged into vtiger if contributed by us? What
> about library updates across the whole product, what about framework
> replacements across the whole project? What about new features?
>
> It needs more, please... Please don't tell me you don't have more...
> Because
> this is not much since 6.4 and it just gives us the impression you made the
> open source project a weekend hobby for bad weather days.

> ended in a black whole, what kind of impression does that should give me I
> ask you?
