But to get 2.3 out, we need some *particular people* to do some particular things.
It's always hard in open source projects to get those last 2%...

The last 5% is always the toughest of any software projects. Major kudo's for getting it to 2%!
Eagerly but patiently the next release.

The latest development version is always online. I was playing the "alpha" 2.3 version already 1,5 years ago. Instead of just complaining, why don't you download the dev version and help fix bugs? That is more constructive. :)

Have you ever worked in software development? Delays and such are the norm, even in most professional development houses. You should be glad that steady development is still being made; most freeware/open source game projects I've seen wind up rolling over and dying in under six months.
Besides, it's not like pre-compiled releases aren't available. Have you bothered to read this post? Sure, it's an in-development build of 2.3, but it beats nothing, doesn't it?

You're reading this post wrong. We (no programming/graphics/language skills love good games) people are not complaining, just letting you know that we follow the wiki for updates every week, read the monthly status update, and are just waiting for the next release, cuz it's the best open source game ever. Maybe knowing this will give the developers some more enthusiasm to complete these last 3.14% to the next stable release.

I don't think that developers "misunderstand" anyone on purpose per se.
It just really is that sometimes there is a little bit of work which is less interesting to do. Usually those last 2% include parts which aren't extremely fascinating. That's why there are often smaller steps needed to close that gap, and hence often a plea for people to help these efforts :D
Rather than only waiting, it often is better to point out which things can be improved. Even if these are only little things.
