He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would become disillusioned, but if he was expecting it to be much of a community effort I'm affraid he's missed the mark, quite a bit.The number of members here with significant insight into Ogre and/or C++ to provide much in the way of useful contribution is probably no more than a handful at best, and likely they (like Gabriel) have other priorities.
