Well I'm afraid that's quite unfair to everyone that you haven't mentioned. Guile suffered for a long time from unclear purpose and political confusion. It's only because of the efforts over the last few years of people like Jim, Gary, Mikael, Maciej, Marius, Greg H, Greg B, Dirk, Michael, Jost, and others that don't spring to mind right now, as well as Robert and Thi, that we are now on the verge of a 1.6 release that's worth getting excited about.
