I tend to take the approach that bitching is free, and so tends to get ignored. Properly filled out bug reports (and even better patches) are not, thus tend to get more traction.
I am not much of a coder, but I don't bitch anymore. If an issue is important, then I will make time for it and devote what resources I can to a solution. In other words I will find some way of making it happen. This is perhaps what I love most about open source, it puts the power into the hands of those who really care. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
