I have wondered what would happen if the company itself ceased to exist, and no other company continued development. I have no faith in the community contiung any development that would ensure this software's continued existence.

BoonEx is the main (and in most cases the only) contributor to development. I'd like to see a more open development process where the community can at least play some part other than making suggestions and hoping for an implementation of needed features and enhancements.

I see more have no reason to doubt that site owners would manage to find a way, most likely through third-party developers who can hack up the code to keep it improving as much as possible.

I'm sure some third-party community would also spring-up, providing some form of support and modifications, but I do not see an actual, community-based development team forming and being able to remain stable enough to deliver something.

If such a situation ever arose, I see people as either hiring developers to maintain the code for their individual sites, remaining on unchanging code and stagnating, or moving to some other solution that is backed either by an open company, strong community, or both.
