OpenBCI claims to be low-cost high-quality. But does www.openBCI.com support developments to lower costs, increase quality, and to attract more developers?

No.

OpenBCI regurlarly attract skilled developers as shown here:

www.OpenBCI.com claims to be low-cost high-quality. We don t believe that. Why then would skilled hackers spend time so much time for such projects to lower costs as shown here:

OpenBCI regularly attracts skilled developers, but does not seem to have a forum and a support team with a sustainable community which lowers costs, increases quality, and attracts more developers.
