But you expect others to have the time and acquire the skill set. And probably also buy themselves the same sort of computer that you want to use. Why?
Once again where are you getting that from? I basically said the same thing as Christian A. " I wish I could somehow find the time needed to contribute better." but for some reason you took my comment as some sort of spoilt child asking everyone to do everything for him type thing which it wasn't. "So what steps did you take to make sure that others will have it easier and benefit from your experience?" If anything I discovered wasn't in the particular thread I was reading I posted it to help anyone else who might have the same issue. What else could I do? "Using LilyPond" is neutral (apart from incurring hosting/download costs). Contributing back to a community involves more than just using the software. Complaining about the software is a feedback, but without the investment of time and care required to make that complaint specific and addressable, it does not help the community or ultimately the software." Am I complaining about the software?? No I think it fantastic. "Attitudes and PR will not make a difference regarding how hard it is to use LilyPond on a Mac. LilyPond is supported by an active and incredibly helpful community (which happens to pay my bills as well in order to keep myself working on the project). But there are limits to what it can do. If no actual users of a platform can be bothered to get involved in deployment (which requires a lot of cooperation and detailed feedback), then there will be no support or the existing support will eventually break down." Once again when was I complaining about the software or how hard it was to use? I wasn't. I merely commented on the attitudes towards mac users their seems to be around here. I never asked you to come to my house and fix anything. I just said I wish I knew more so I could contribute and you started patronising me. "And that is not something that can be resolved by complaining about it, and by complaining in general that it is the responsibility of some mystical higher class of humans known as "programmers" who are bound to work on the problems of all others because everyone knows that they don't have a life of their own. Even the "programmers" need something substantial to work with." Once again did I complain about a technical issue? And if one were to comment on a technical issue who but those with the programming abilities can fix it? For some reason you have an issue with my comment even though those same sentiments were posted by others.
