Thank you so much for the response in the other thread, @philipp.chain.
I certainly do not want to dilute/steal the conversation in other threads - and only commented there because the topic came up - which reminded me of my questions asked here above. These questions are obviously on my (and others’ minds) and I think are valid and reasonable - yet they have gone ignored here for about a week now.
I don’t want to be presumptuous or ask for too much attention, but I would hope that a set of reasonably written and detailed questions - about what looks to me like a major glaring issue with the development process of a huge and very important project - questions from an obvious fan - would be worth everyone’s interest to be addressed and discussed.
I know that I would be extremely thankful to you if you could respond in a bit more length to the questions posed in the message, which I will re-quote right below. Or perhaps I can again request that some other folks in the AEternity core that might be able to weigh in - would do so? Perhaps @bruteforce.chain might have some thoughts?
Thank you guys so much!

How is it that the AE leadership is not seeing that time is short - that time is running out - and that bringing new energy and new forces to the ecosystem should be their TOP PRIORITY?
First step: Having a number of functional, fully-fledged, useful, stand-alone, complete, example programs - that random people can download onto their phones from the App store or Google - and right away experience the speed and power and beauty of the AE ecosystem - and tell their friends about it.
----If you wait for those to appear ‘naturally’ - like in a movie - built by some unknown upstart programmer from Africa or China with beautiful music playing in the background - you will waste critical years - and all the advantage AE has today will disappear.----
In successful product development - developing ALL the features FROM the start is wrong. It’s like THE FIRST RULE in the bible of product development - premiere the product, get it to be useful, get it to be USED - and ONLY THEN innovate and improve the extra features.
What are you guys doing right now improving all the bells and whistles when the basic AE system is not fully usable, not easily grabbable (as evidenced by no new AEpps appearing in MONTHS) by a random programmer?
What are you guys doing at this point in the game? Making advances on a high-speed train that keeps travelling empty? FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW!??!?!
