@Flywire.
I do I agree with you on all points.
When I worked on LibreCAD for hours on a daily base I had my successes and worked for hard to make something work for the future. At that time Qt 3 was phases out and we (the community, at that tine CNC Linux) needed a CAD system that would also be distributed.
However, I am not a person that celebrates successes (people at my work also tell me I don't they, yet they feel I should). I do think it's a good idea to do so, a lot of technical people are just not good with communication.
Perhaps we need a spokes person?
One other issue is that a lot of open projects are doing it effectivly is because there is some form of a company behind it, that helps A LOT. As far as I am aware, no developers of LibreCAD benefit financially from LibreCAD.
Yes we can take dontations... but that also means a lot of money management and to do that, at least here in holland you need 3 people to start such organisation, not at all easy.
So a plan forward, to get us over the line and take the next step takes a lot fo efford...
