Ownership - Take ownership of development - Give back to the community - Ask for OSS as a customer

First impressions Positive Open Source (Yay!) Community based (Woo!!) People behindseem to 'get' community. Not so positive Hard to find information Seemingly non-active/responsive forum No technical support forum to speak of.
Hard to find information Documents on digitaliser.dk: A projectdescription A list of contributors Scribbled notes from two meetings
Hard to find information (2) Documents on wiki Adminstratordocumentation (setup) Developer documentation (coding standards) Promises, promises, promises: What is ShowMap? Guide for new contributors Roadmap (outdated)
Non-active/responsive forum Forum on digitaliser.dk • 10 threads since december 2010 • 5 of them has no responses
No technical support forum Way of support: Through yoursupplier Which is fine for yourcompany's installation. But not for testing and/or private purposes
Various whining Runs only on Windows (.NET) No ”Installation for Dummies”-guide (ie. targetted at ME).
Recommendations An introduction to where to find resources and how to interact with the community in general. Basic installation guide Encouraginguse of the forum • ”Open Sourcing” the technical support from the suppliers
