Derek Atkins is the leader.  He's declared that the G2 Port is *THE*
most important thing right now.  Nothing else should distract the
G2 devels from working on G2.  If G2 doesn't happen Gnucash may
be dropped from major distros, and none of the rest of it will matter.

It's been a while since I've been up on the devel list, but my
impression is that other devels are free to disagree, they don't
*have* to work on G2, as long as they don't interfere.

I think Derek wants to do quite a few other projects, but given that
this is people's financial data, any changes should work.   Do no
further harm.

Gnucash is not currently ideally factored as a program.  I know there
are people who want to change that (after G2) to make it easier for
other devs to join, but it's a big task, and while
re-factoring is going on it's hard to get other work done.

(Of course Derek is free to speak for himself, but I do my best to
lighten the tech-support load.  Most of the time other people
get to questions before me though.  I only can check my e-mail
about once a day nowadays.)
