Well, we come back to the recurrent problems of communication between vTiger and the community..<br>Since 4.2.3, I have been following vTiger, trying to contribute at my level, but already the communication was very difficult, subscription or no subscription... Some times answers came pretty quickly but mostly it was very difficult to get the support you expect.
<br><br>Already questions raised about the lack of feedback from vTiger team to the community, but after a while came the development of version 5, so I decided to stop pursuing vTiger with my concerns, and even if I paid for support, I didn't ask a question for months, leaving the team to the development (At this time I understood that the same people developed and supported, I may have been wrong.. I hope).
<br><br>vTiger 5 came out and after a while came back indoors for major bug fixes... And now 5.0.3 is out, which is great, major improvements, but still, the key functionalities are still buggy (Migration / emails / Versionning). Anyway at this point, I felt like a reborn of vTiger, many people were excited, and we also get promises about a better communication... but so far, it's not true..
<br><br>For sure, when vTiger reply on the forum or list, it sounds very kind, considering the needs and requests of the community, but being polite is not all, it isn't enough, how long do people as Joe have to pursue vTiger team to get an answer? And we are not talking about people who just use vTiger, we are talking about contributors, the heart of an open source project. Without contributors, I don't see the point to be open source. Personally I stopped replying to forums a while ago (shame on me) because I don't feel the dynamic I expect.
<br><br>Come on vTiger, assign somebody to this list, somebody to refer to, which will pass all the serious communication to you, with a feet in your team and the other in the community, a person well known from us capable to represent us in your meetings.
<br><br>It's time for a change..<br><br>With kind regards ;)<br>Clem<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/7/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">David V.</b> <<a href="mailto:davidv.net@gmail.com">davidv.net@gmail.com
