Now what does that tell me.
Obviously we lost developers or at least active commiters.

Still community building seems to have failed.

What's your take on this?

I might be biased on this one but... I believe it is due to very high entry barrier.
I did tried some time ago to install GNUMed on a windows machine... tried and failed.

I don't have time to fetch and solve all the dependencies of GNUMed... it is very frustrating. 
For me an EXE distribution means "independent", means I can try something and not change my current development environment... 

the default choice of pgsql for backend kept me away... 

Sure... on a linux machine things might be trivial BUT on my windows machine, even trying to see how GNUMed works is hell. 

My 2 eurocents.
