I think we have one or two devs lurking here, maybe others. Neil Howe, our CTO, Phil Martin our chief techy on Xara and responsible for most of the architectural stuff. Gerry and Like may also be lurking, and appear from time to time.
But as Bruce says changing a company culture to be open in way you guys are is difficult. We all have to be careful because we represent a commercial company that can get sued, and because we have paying customers.
Also the guys are under intense pressure to ship a brand new commercial Windows release right now and so have very limited time. Indeed right now we have very limited number of developers purely on the open-source version.
Can you tell us a little about the backgrounds/interests of the folks working on the open source version? I'm looking forward to chatting with them in the future. :-)
