I think that we have more of a problem of people being afraid to contribute because of the fear of undue criticism or rejection than we have of unworthy people joining. The number of people who have been rejected is small. The number of people who are good coders who could contribute to Debian if they chose is much larger. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
