 Blog comment for http://blah.thingsinjars.com/post/291/phonegap---the-drupal-of-app-development/
 Tried to post on blog but disqus not working on either Safari 5 or Chrome on Mac.

 A few comments about Appcelerator.

 1. We're completely open source and you can see all our active development every single commit on github.com/appcelerator.  We have plenty of outside core open source contributors.

 2. Yeah, to do what we're doing, it's complicated - much more than Phonegap - so it does mean with complexity it's hard to grok.  however, the source is all there. Also, it's full extensible through our SDKs and we this SDK as the way we build Titanium itself.

 3. For Desktop, we _only_ upload to our build servers as a convenience to cross-platform packaging.  Nothing mysterious and all the scripts we run are included (and open source) so you can run them on your own. Plenty of our customers do this behind the firewall.  When you're developing locally (say on a OSX machine), it's all local during dev. Only cross-platform packaging is done as a convenience to developers.  We have to pay for this bandwidth and storage and we do it to make it easier.  And it's free.

 Hope this clarifies some of the above.   Phonegap's a great project and we love the team - but I think we're trying to do different things and come at it from different approaches. In the end, this is good for developers as it gives everyone more choice based on their needs.
