Well well, I almost saw that coming :/ I just wanted to say that I fully agree with your views Andrew. I really hope the situation can be improved in the future. I think all parties could win by collaborating more with each other. Most of what can be improved here unfortunately seems to be in the hands of eCosCentric. They are the main force behind eCos development, invest lots of man-time into the project and therefore have quite a bit of authority over development. Unless the community wants to fork the project and go their own way, communication between eCosCentric and the community needs to be improved. Or at least we need a clear statement from eCosCentric towards what the community can and cannot expect. Simon
