Because it probably is all being worked on.Then why do "they" (Wotc-Trevor eg) keep insisting, as recently as a couple months ago on the official forums, that this is all being worked on? I think we suspect the truth, but I just wish they would come out with it and give it over to licensed open-source or out-sourced development.
Unfortunately, the gaming community shot itself in the foot on this topic a year and a half ago.
Clearly, development is taking quite some time (as I imagine it would, with an understaffed team). But that doesn't mean it's not happening. What it does mean is that the DDI team isn't going to tell us anything until they're absolutely sure that it's coming out in the near future, because the gaming community demonstrated previously that it is unable to handle in a reasonable manner the delay of a software product (something that happens pretty frequently in the software development business) that they aren't even paying for yet. Because of the (I would argue) crazy over-the-top outcry the initial delay caused on the various internets, WotC switched to a policy of not talking about it until it's definitely going to happen (a policy shared by quite a lot of software development groups).
