I personally believe that until the SAFE network starts generating revenues for MaidSafe the priority for the team should be to focus on getting the engineering right. And the way for the wider community to obtain more detailed feedback about the dev process is to go beyond being passively reassured that progress is indeed happening and use that feedback to contribute back something that is both valuable to MaidSafe and the wider community. It needs to become a two- (or multi-!) way conversation for the time investment in explaining what is going on to pay off.
On our side, as we understand more and more how everything works, we are producing lectures that will make it easier for new comers to get up to speed. The time spent by devs explaining how stuff works is therefore paid back in not having to explain it again in the future and having more meaningful discussions with other community members.
As @anon40790172 did here, you can pick one question that bothers you and publish it on the forum. I suggest to push further and publish subsequent posts about relevant parts of the SystemDocs that apply to your question but does not fully answer it and why, look at the relevant academic literature on the topic and publish the links found, look at the current MaidSafe source code and find the relevant parts and publish the links, and tie it back to the current tasks being worked on with links to Jira tasks. That way it will provide full context for others to join in on discussions afterwards. That process can be fully crowdsourced since MaidSafe is operating in a fairly transparent way. And I’ll be super happy to participate in it since it also helps me with the background research I need to do for the lectures.
And you do not need to do this all by yourself, you can do the part you feel comfortable doing within your time constraints. If enough people participate we will be able the share the load and quickly map the entire space. I’ll be more than happy in coaching interested people on how to do it.
Therefore, the way to have more and better feedback is to change it from a distraction to an investment for the person doing it.
