I'm currently not contributing, choose it's impossible to setup. And I'm just fed up with the build and could even work through the quirks. I just don't want to anymore.
As justin said, I have a paid job where I have to deal with that sort of crap every day. My open source involvement is my hobbie. So it's reasonable for me not to do the stuff I have to do in my day job. It has been the problem with flex, that it has a very demanding user set. I got to know that during my time with flexmojos. You have to distinguish between the people demanding stuff, cause they want ur and the ones that would give stuff back. Apache is about the "please help me help you" people and not the "you have to give me stuff cause I use your software" ones. Gave to go now ... At near I have had 3 days in which my job was fun, cause I could do a Maven training ;-) Chris Von meinem Samsung Galaxy Smartphone gesendet. -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Harbs <harbs.li...@gmail.com> Datum: 17.02.2016 19:21 (GMT+01:00) An: dev@flex.apache.org Betreff: Re: [FALCONJX]Compiling Falcon with externs problems Except, people are only going to contribute once it has enough features to really interest them. Right now, all it really needs is some better “getting started with contributing” documentation for people wanting to help. I could write that (now that I worked out my issues). I’d rather have Alex work on things I can’t do.
