"I see your point. The catch is that Dolphin or any other product, per se, should not be your offering. ideally it should be a tool to deliver your idea/initiative and unite people over it. And perfect tool is something that helps you all the way and doesn't limit you in any manner, right?

Like, say, you have an idea for "Neighborhood community of Santa Monica" - not dating, not social networking, not exactly a forum, or chat. Our-of-the box Dolphin or any other see more package just doesn't make it - so you get Dolphin, buy mods, hire programmer, change, try, change, try, etc. Then comes a version update and you're in trouble :). THAT is the main problem we're trying to address."

This is the smartest thing I've ever heard anyone developing open-source software say.

It's obvious you GET what the internet is becoming. I, for one, look forward to what you're developing if it's built with what you just said as its core idea and drive.

Thank You for all your hard work!!
