Yes, it is an issue! Most developers are not student anymore and have 
less times to spend on Wormux. Somes have children, somes are 
demotivating by the difficulty of having a network mode working, ...
I'm quite demotivating and this year I had time to spend on wormux only 
at the beginning of the night when my wife is working. Every day I spent 
my evening on Wormux, I sleep about 5hours before going back to work...

Yes, and I have not answered because I was in Italy for work.

Yes there is no central power, and I'm not sure to want to be it because 
again lack of times. Each times you are sending mail and so on, you can 
not code. As you noticed, I have sent an email about new mailing list 
for translators and maintainers. I also ask for a volunteer to send 
emails, everybody can do that...
I also sent email about the port of Windows and Mac OS X.
I have also asked for a volunteer for searching sounds and so on...

But ? but nobody is volunteer...

What is your problem ? This is free software, people are doing what is 
motivating for us. New features create some bugs, yes, but it also help 
to rewrite part of ugly code. I disagree with you when you say that 
developers just implement some new features. From July 2006, 223 
(currently closed) bugs have been updated.

Well, give time please!!! I would like to try to do something but if all 
energy is lost crying about the situation, it will go directly in the 
wall! You must know that feature freeze is really demotivating and 
people who complains too.

I have a plan for release but currently I'm too riled up to talk about 
that...

Again, thanks to make me lost half an hour answer to your email instead 
of fixing bug. No more time available this evening...
