I have had recent discussions with CZ and he has intimated to me that once Lui is launched he is interested in bringing enhanced features to BBR, some of which he is developing for Lui. Meanwhile he recommended to me another cryptonote developer that he says is highly skilled. I have spoken to this gentleman who has expressed interest. However this developer wanted clear directions from the community about where we wanted to take BBR.

Db implementation and a "fully enhanced anonymous transaction wallet" sound like a good starting point to get development back on track. What would be useful (for a non-technical person like me) is a couple of paragraphs from either CZ or the new dev explaining the benefits of these new features and the gaps they plug.
What would also be useful is to understand whether there are any other deficiencies in the existing code base/ design that would prohibit scalability of the coin or undermine the anonymity of transactions? If there are, it would be good to address these as a priority on the roadmap.
Seeing something tangible from the Dev team (like a new code release) would go a long way to regaining the trust and getting more engagement from "the community" IMO.
Now a few questions:
1) What enhanced features will be brought across from Lui?
2) Will CZ return to BBR after Lui launches? People invest in people. IMO CZ is key to the success of BBR as things stand so it would be good to know where he stands in relation to BBR.
3) When is Lui launching? Looking at that thread there appear to have been a few false starts. It would be good to know as the availability of new features and CZ seem dependent on it.
4) Who is the new dev? Will he work alongside CZ (now and when/ if CZ returns)? It would be good if he popped by to say hi.
5) Is serious consideration being given to improving communication, marketing and PR? It's been piss poor over the last year or so. It is not realistic to expect people to invest money, time and energy into a coin (or to attract new investment) when there is zero information coming back from the dev team. No one expects detailed updates every week, however some kind of communication once a month or once a quarter would not be unreasonable. If not on this thread then on the Boolberry website.
6) Speaking of the website, has any consideration be given to updating it? A good lick of paint and keeping it up-to-date would go a long way to giving the right first impression to new potential investors.
Thanks
