Like you said, I know, its done when its done... But I feel that its been a long enough time to prepare an update.

Heck, we've got Robot making his own custom firmware, and fixing bugs / adding features / finding HIDDEN or DISABLED features in the eDGe, and he is only one developer, working on it in his spare time, without any access to the source code of the OS. It seems that the eDGe developer(s) can't compare to his rate of development. Why? I know, a whole bunch of other things like bugs are popping up for the eDGe devs, but they have access to the source. They should be able to do this.

At least an estimation on when to expect an update would be... nice.
with such an engaged, empowered and anxious community working, maybe there is room to open some of the code up to freelancers like robot and interested parties who are willing to help advance the progress.
One of the things thats entirely different between android vs mac is the open source collaboration. EE would do wonders for both agility of updates and loyalty within the community by empowering, leveraging and optimizing their dev community.
Just my 2 cents. im new here so forgive me if this has already been hammered to death as a topic.
