Likely.

Sure, more *good* developers are good. It did not sound like you talked about developers though, but more about users. > The question would then be "how do we increase the teams 'man'power". > However it is becoming clearer and clearer that the opposite is true. Increasing (wo)manpower for the sake of increasing (wo)manpower won't solve problems. Bringing good people into the project, helping them grow, and making it attractive to stick around sounds like a better way to achieve increasing (wo)manpower as a side effect. > This project seems keen to exclude outsider and make sure that new > people are discouraged from taking part. If input comes across as "I know better than you what your needs are and how you can achieve them" though input was meant to be helpful, such an impression can unfortunately be created. I guess you are simply (still) more idealistic than e.g. me, which can create misunderstandings. How would you like to actively take part, and how can we help you? andre -- Andre Klapper | [email protected] http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
