Ok, this is something we can address pretty easily. I'll try and post  
something this week.

List hasn't been going that long. We get most general enquiries and  
feedback via support / info email addresses should try and encourage  
people to use mailing lists more.

Development community is currently Altinity employees plus a couple  
of third party organisations. We're preparing to open our code  
repository for external access, so it'll be easier for customers and  
individuals to make changes. User community is growing steadily plus  
we have about 40 paying customers.

Our aim is to develop opsview.org as a community site whilst Altinity  
continues to provides professional services and support. It would be  
fair to say that Altinity's success is having a detrimental effect on  
the community site right now. We're busily recruiting so this should  
ease over the summer...

Another factor is focus. We've spend the last 8 months (or so) making  
Opsview significantly easier to build and install, which includes  
packaging. This work is virtually complete (in spite of your  
experiences with Fedora) so we can hopefully turn our attention to  
other areas such as opsview.org and documentation wiki.
