So you're still saying, it's fine for other people to put in the hours
to produce something you benefit from, but it's too much trouble for
you to contribute in return. And in the meantime, it's perfectly OK
for you to sit back and complain that things haven't been fixed. Got it.
I'm afraid that you haven't got the point. According to my experience
people are willing to contribute. I'm willing to contribute. Just the
barrier is too high. But the worst thing is that I feel that the barrier
could be much lower if there was a bit of will to lower it. But the will
is just not there. And I do not see why. It is not 1990s any more. There
are ways how to make cooperation easier. Why not use them?
I'm willing to do the work. In fact, I did some work already. Much more
than just few hours. I'm just not willing to overcome unreasonable
barriers that take a lot of time, do not significantly increase quality
of the product and make my future work miserable. I would rather invest
that time to make the software better. And that is exactly what I'm
going to do.
Anyway, sladpconf is here. As is my feedback as a potential contributor.
Take it or leave it.
