Now, let's dispel a couple of common myths:
Myth #1: Only geeks and programmers can help.
Truth: Actually there is a greater need for non-programming help in the
form of beta testing, translating, documentation writing, and community
support (ie. community members helping each other solve their own
technical problems).
That is so true. Being a developer myself, I magically forget that my
OSS programs need documentation for people to use it. Sometimes it just
totally slips my mind what its like being a user. :)
That's another thing -- feedback is always appreciated. In most cases
they probably won't respond right away since their pet projects are
usually something they only work on occassionally, so don't feel
dejected if you don't hear back immediately.
