They don't have a plan to conquer the world, a business plan, or anything else. They're just FOSS developers doing stuff that interests them. The majority of framasoft developers are French and European teachers and academics.
Framasoft is the antithesis of y-combinator.
Sometimes they reach a wide audience, like framapad and framadate, which are quite popular in France and Western Europe. Partly because they just work and don't require you to create an account.
Sometimes nobody really knows who it's for.
Most of the time people often mistakenly think it's an isofunctional 1:1 alternative to another product. When it's not.

If they’re not doing that, then they are either unable or unwilling to. But that’s a separate issue.
