Simply put: you are right.

Main problem: lack of resource/time from the small developer team,
i.e: the time available is spent on improving TDE code/features, not
on improving TDE perception.

Possible solution: TDE users can help to improve how TDE is perceived.
For example create and maintain a facebook TDE page could be a good
way to raise awareness, discuss new ideas an so on. Yes, we already
have the mailing list, but it does not really reach out to the same
amount of people. And surely there are also other ways...
That would be a nice way for any willing user to contribute to the
project :-)

No, there is a plan to release a *maintenance* version approximately
every 3 months, not a *minor* release, i.e. R14.0.x should have a
release cycle of more or less 3 months. Instead R14.x.0 minor releases
will be released "when ready", although we will strive to release once
a year if possible.
Please keep in mind that both the maintenance and minor release
intervals are indicative, i.e. there may be some changes depending on
how much development we are able to achieve over the time.

Cheers
  Michele
