I provided two concrete points, thank you: (1) Is a project actively developed? Look at the repo. That is the answer to the question [this isn't necessarily obvious to those new to Open Source]. (1.1.) "Is PyDev a potential unifying force amoung IDEs?" Which is the implied question - that is up to the OP and others who do/do-not contribute to it. (2) How can I donate cash? There is a fairly standard mechanism for that. Otherwise I think the OP's thoughts on "community" and how Open Source works are somewhat flawed. "Community" is a manifestation of people *doing* things; it does *not* arise out of people being concerned about things [since "doing" is quite apparently not a natural result of "concern". Concern is like watching TV. Doing is getting out of the chair.] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
