  just a small example, look at Issue #i35830#. From time to time, I'm
  trying to go through issues with target milestone 'OOo Later' and
  I'm trying to find the 'critical' ones which should be fixed in the
  OOo 2.0, not later. I found one, the Issue #i35830#. I asked Pavel
  if I can set the target milestone back to OOo 2.0, because it's
  'important' from the users point of view (issues is about the fact,
  that the the file is renamed if you change the export filter in the
  save as dialog and the origin filename contains dots). He agreed and
  I did it. Few days ago I was examining Issues with target milestone
  OOo 2.0 and this issue wasn't there. I opened it directly and what
  a surprise, target milestone is back on OOo later without
  a word. OK, nevermind, I decided to look at the source code and
  find where the problem is. I described it in the Issue, I proposed
  three solutions and now, I need a small hint which solution is the
  best one - not from the programmers point of view, but from the
  users point of view - user interface. I didn't receive an answer
  till today, so, I can't fix it. If I'll receive an answer, I can fix
  it, I can create CWS (I've already got my first CWS integrated ;-)
  and I can push it to the QA process, so the fix will be integrated.

  I know, that this is not big contribution. I'm learning the source
  code, trying to fix issues from the smallest ones (like this one) to
  the bigger issues. But ... This behaviour is in almost all open
  source projects, you have to show your value before anybody will
  take care about your comments. I have to say that I understand this,
  but I know that lot of people don't and this can be one problem why
  there is a small contribution in the code area ... Or in any other
  area ...

Regards,
Robert
