- a fully-formed team is on it
- there is a point where adding more manpower not only doesn't increase productivity but actually decreases it.
For the wallet, this is a bit different, there is a lot of things to consider which are not obvious and could be overlooked after a naive reading of what a wallet is and should do (I am abroad so I cannot be more specific on a smartphone with limited Internet access, remind me next week if you want more information).
Be sure we are aware that being technologically superior doesn't suffice (heck, it is not even necessary, look at VHS, Flash, HTML, SDRAM... None of them had first-mover or technological superiority advantage). We are also aware that the more you'll wait, the higher the expectations you'll have. Remember: underpromise overdeliver, weekly updates, haters gonna hate, shorter gonna short, dumpers gonna dump.
Well, every post from devs on here up unitl this point has had the tone of "we don't care if its hard to use, we aren't solving for the market, we are building the best coin..." etc... which up until this last post from you implies that its the "if we build it, they will come" magic thinking that permeates most technical folks and is completely wrong. But I am encouraged by your latest response, but a bit baffled by not accepting any help from the community with website or wallet to move things along. But hopefully you will show us that we had no reason to worry and a drop dead simple to use GUI wallet with a super friendly and professional website is just around the corner.
Edit: the same holds true for the website. We have designers, coders and marketers on it. Yes, it takes time but this is because we know we will have to stick with end product for years (reason: inertia). It will be worth the wait.
Again, thanks to all people proposing help for the website - even if we don't need any, your proposal are truly appreciated.
By the way: once the website will be operational, we will contact the various persons who proposed translations. We did not forget you!
I love XMR's potential, but until the devs really understand the need for speed and the need for ease of use and the need for active marketing now while the iron is hot, [...]
Do you really believe we are not deeply aware of that and actively working on it (for weeks)? Unfortunately, one cannot just copy-and-paste some Qt code and even copy BBR's code would not suffice.

. Kind of an awkward 'user-friendly' public face, if you'd like the blunt truth.
