Isn’t Starfinder in maintenance mode, effectively shelved apart from bug fixes?

Is there a spreadsheet or an issue tracker for the ruleset somewhere that we can review? I've been spending some time over the past few weeks diving into ruleset code, extensions, modules, etc. and have expressed some interest in trying to fill in the gaps a bit for both Starfinder (SuperTeddy is a rockstar FYI) and PF2e (thank goodness for Trenloe, ShadeRaven, and the others working on PF2e). If there is an issue tracker (outside of the bug report thread - it can be difficult to tell what's still an open bug or issue sometimes), it would help me find areas that I could potentially come up with fixes and/or extensions to brush up my skills before applying with Smiteworks for the community developer program.

I'm playing in a SF group that is on a hiatus right now due to a player having real life interrupt, but I'm looking at helping the GM move from Roll20 to Fantasy Grounds when we resume - so I don't have as much exposure to SF in FG than I'd like to know where the current issues are, but have been getting caught up on the scripts and layouts.

I'd also be interested in potentially looking at what is necessary to support the Galaxy Exploration Manual

The only tracker available to the public is what you see in the bug report thread.

The response from Doug and John has always been to buy the product for what it is today".

That is what kickstarter is all about. Is there any thing that you feel is unfulfilled from the Kickstarter at this time?

LOL, wow

Your response to me about investing in the kickstarter was that we should spend our money on what it is "right now"...and then you say this? Are you on meds?

I really do not understand your point.
It appears you are trying to debate semantics but I cant follow your point.

Lets break it down. You said

What I actually said in response to "investing in the kickstarter"

What is the response you are looking for here?
Is this a perfect platform? Hell no. Ultimately this is a business venture. You have a finite number of resources and you allocate them where it makes most sense to you. Mixing hobby and business is always going to see friction where passion is not fully met by commercial reality.

It is my understanding that for some time you were working (maybe volunteering is the appropriate word?) on ruleset and/or content updates. It is my understanding that you are aware of how long it takes to build, maintain and improve a complex rpg system like this. For anyone else reading this - its not a trivial thing and it takes a particular skillset, a lot of determination and a lot of time. And its not just a complex system - its one that keeps getting more complexity added with each content addition.

I dont want to annoy you further than you already seem to be, Im just not getting your point.

Going to go ahead and close this thread. The ongoing debate does not add to the original answer already provided.
