Yes, that company does need to work on that.
Allow me to concur. If anything Subversion doesn't have enough of the
discussion on the mailing list (which is sort of inevitable when
people work together in person). That's one thing that's nice about
AbiWord. None of us have ever met anyone else, so everything happens
on the list.
But keep up the good work of keeping all the subscribers informed
about what's happening.
