no one is stopping anyone from developing anything. "we" implying what - you are personally interested in financially funding the dev? i am not but please do should you find someone you wish to tether yourself to going forward forever in a stakeholder system. sounds like a nightmare to me. i think the point is: if jack is interested in the process himself, i was supportive with providing an idea, but he should want to develop it, genuinely. otherwise - he should stop focusing his attention on what he doesn't enjoy and falling prey to forever stake and endless "support" schemes which entrap his time and finances. etc etc. :).
