+5 on that. Just being free and open doesn't cut it, it actually has  
to be at least as good as the proprietary software for the users.

Let's hope some more folk from the peanut gallery joins us down here

contribute, like he did with libsugarize which still is the simplest  
thing to get regular apps running as an activity.
