Ah, you are right to put this proposition forward, but I have also the right to put mine :) It is not meant in general terms, it is about investing the most precious we have in a meaningful way. There are people who have gone this way (debian/mobile) already and gained some experience. There are few projects that need some support if someone wants to spend some time I would recommend joining those projects. I am sorry if my language sound that imperative - I meant it as an advise. And please note I said "I admire people that have time to waste". Note "admire" and "people that have time to waste" is totally neutral - he has time to waste - I don't mind, I just admire this person, because my time is limited. I do not understand how you can conclude that I pretend to have rights on his time - he can waste it or not - the point is the outcome. He'll go in a dead end, would you let this person spent hours for nothing. Better join some community that is already working on this. regards
