My, described, personal experiences come from the time of OOo [!], the problem was then, however, almost identical to the situation today: Too many experienced people don't understand that newcomers, who have no FOSS project experience, don't understand the meritocratic way of working and therefore misunderstand the liberal request 'find yourself the part of the project you want to work on' as 'I don't feel like giving you concrete help'. It is our mistake to pretend to deprive the newcomers of their freedom, only if we assign them concrete work. And I name this mistake by saying that we raise the tool (!) "meritocracy" to the status of a religion. greetings, Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
