I think we are missing the boat.

There are those who want to write the code and share with anyone who 
also wants to improve it, and there are those (like Perry maybe) who 
only needs to download the open source application and use it. There are 
versions fully tested and there are versions in beta (testing).

Look at N1MM application for example.
