Ok fair enough. I don't see anyone refusing to answer questions though. > > If you have concerns about Parrot's pace (as do I), quality, > > or design, then grab a bat and step up. > >Love to. Do you want to make it easier for me, or harder? *grits teeth* Ok, I hope it is clear, I'm not downplaying the level of effort required to get up to speed, and we need to make everyone feel welcome, and make the learning curve less steep. We need to bring more people into Parrot development. Newcomers are welcome, needed even, and we shouldn't imply that only "code" contributions are welcome. Many smart people here have good ideas, but little time, and I value whatever we get. And yes, commenting code can be improved. -Melvin
