Well this is an open source project after all, I do wonder how many
of those requestors are willing to either program or provide the
programmer to work on this task.
FOSS is not just about requesting something but doing it yourself.
So are you saying that if I can't program or provide a programmer I
shouldn't use FOSS? That is pretty narrow minded.
No, more like: if you can't pay the piper, you can't call the tune
Attitudes like that make one want to quit using FOSS. Obviously you do
not care about the users of OO.org. You seem to believe that only the
people who can program it should use it. Anyone else's opinion doesn't
count. This attitude will drive people away.Besides, doesn't Sun pay the
salaries of most of the OO.org developers?
When did we said you shoudn't use it?
You are using it allright, you never demand to use it. You are demanding
that a development should take place at your commnad. That is not using
it, that is wanting to modify through orders. Fortunately software
doesn't get modify through orders but through code, if you want that a
email client appear out of thin air you should start making the code to
make it so.
Code is the currency. If you don't code, then feel free to use whatever
the developer code.
For your information Sun DOESNT pay the salaries of all the developers. I
just translate 17000 strings of OOo for free dollars, with zero cents. And
you come and tell me that I don't care for the user.
Yes free software is most commonly free of price, but the service is not,
if you want to modify it, then u want a development service which cost
money. If you are willing to pay it.
