I understand your problem - in India there are a lot of people who 'volunteer' to help and wind up giving useless armchair advice and doing nothing > > Loose statements like "we will help to improve it" is not a sign of a > serious contributor, in fact probably the opposite. this is a chicken and egg situation - I for one will not contribute to a project that is not open source. And I certainly will not answer a question like: here is a demo - will you contribute if it is open source? If it is open source, with a decent license and if I need to add features or improve features to use it, I will try to contribute. Otherwise I may just use it. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Associate NRC-FOSS at AU-KBC _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
