Hello,
these issues were pointed in the first place, my comments follow inline.
1) the need for a new reliable release - delayed or low-quality releases
are affecting the credibility of the project
-
http://lists.kamailio.org/pipermail/users/2008-August/018999.html
- the link above shows this one was a faster release than in past
-
http://www.kamailio.net/mos/view/KAMAILIO-v1.4.0-Released/
- the link above shows the efforts in creating a testing suite which was running on devel
server during this development cycle
- the link above shows no much new things in the core, but code cleanup, duplicity
removal, source code documentation
2) degradation of the project quality - testing, performance measurements
and code quality control are overlooked
- presented before, testing suite was built and running, lot of code was reviewed and
improved
- who in the new project will do that and couldn't do it because was blocked in the
old project
3) lack of the control, management and coordination of the project -
critical project issues could not be handled or solved
- I am not aware of mis-coordinations that could affect the project so badly
- I am not aware of critical issues that could not be solved and there was no report of a
critical deadlock
- if there was a failure in management, all from the board share same fault
Moreover, I believe there are facts in the past that openser took care of its quality. I
repeat as I said that QA might not be enough no matter is done. If openser 1.3.x is the
core component of a platform hosting about 2 millions of subscribers does not ensure some
QA, then nothing else can be said, see:

None above motivates such reactions as happened recently, but if does, then probably with
some openess and discussions everything would have been better now.
Cheers,
Daniel
