The N900 was released in late November - early December 2009, so "nearly a year" is approximately doubling the time time that has actually passed. Your point would stand without the exaggeration.

Programmers working for free, in their own time, do tend to select the projects that interest and benefit them personally.

And Jaffa asked that you, and anyone else wanting expanded service support in Hermes, open an enhancement request in Bugzilla for each service so he could track the information--and the various services' importance to the community. When that appeared to be a barrier, I openned the MySpace request for you. I'd hoped the head start would help as you provided the remainder of the information Jaffa requested.

Unfortunately, that enhancement request was never updated with additional information, and of all the N900-toting, MySpace-using Maemo community members out there, only one felt the service's addition to Hermes important enough to devote a few moments to voting for it.

You could have assisted with the development of Hermes in the direction you wanted without knowing the first thing about coding. Yes, it's a royal pain that a shared sign-on system for *.maemo.org still isn't in place, but if you've too little free time to open an account and vote in support of your own interests, it seems odd for you to complain that others haven't given up much larger blocks of their own free time in support of interests that aren't their own.
