Sean, there's something more that's up which is why they aren't
releasing theirs yet - I can't say much, but I'm going to start
helping them out here with theirs. I'm a little less disappointed,
but I do think it would help for them to notify the community of
projects they're working on up-front. I was very impressed to have
them contact me after this though, and you'll hear more when I can
share.

Jesse, you should be flattered and encouraged that they felt that it was important enough to put resources on it. Also I don't think they are doing anything wrong by waiting this long to announce it. They may haven't been committed to it until now. What if they had announced when the skunkworks project started and then they decided to abandon in the middle? And lastly, who's to say your effort is inferior? Too many times these kinds of projects distract a company from their mission and end up being trashed or sourceforged. Don't get discouraged, show them who's boss!

Jesse
I ageee with on all of your points. It seems very sad that we are in a time where developer and content contributors are no more than share croppers. Bringing users and revenue to the like of Facebook and receiving nothing in return for their contribution. No respect for the hard work of the communities that have generated revenue interest and money for them.

Developers and content contributors should not give there time to create apps for companies that pretend to support them but in the end compete against them, and give none of the value created by contributors back to the community.

In any scenario where the main beneficiary of a developers' program is also a developer, this is bound to happen. Apple has similarly ruffled feathers through the company's development of some applications on the iTunes App Store, and before that, has been said to put shareware companies out of business. It's a tough situation for sure.
