True enough, and NeonDev (obviously) is quite active in this mp3car forums/community.
My biggest concern is that NeonBoomBox is not OSS. It's not price that concerns me, it's sustainability.
What happens when life catches up to NeonDev? It happens, it has happened. We can hope that NeonDev releases the source, but even still there is no guarantee that the code will be of (much) use to anyone else. If we're lucky, NeonDev maintains meticulous documentation / architecture description / verbose commenting..
And all this is A) Assuming the worst [I certainly hope that NeonBoomBox flourishes] B) the source is released.
But your point is well taken: Rather than re-invent the wheel, why not help along existing projects. Perhaps it would be more fruitful to start a Bounty project supporting the development of a solid OBD-II plugin/module. Or GPS. Or what-have-you.
Frankly, the more I mull this over (and get feedback from here and elsewhere) it seems like this is the only logical way to get anything done.
