You could make it a community phenomenon quite like Linux if you would allow people to participate without waiting months to see the submitted patches integrated. It sucks when a five line patch for a very dumb bug is queued and no one cares. It sucks when projects like the ksh93 integration need a year, which is 12 months, 367 days or just a painful long time to integrate. Do you really think this encourages contributors? "Come and wait a year to see your code rejected" is the current official slogan of Opensolaris.org Which kind of contributor treatment is that?
You know, I've been very impressed with the readiness that my own (sometimes pathetic) contributions have been welcomed. OK, some have taken a while, but most of the blame for that has to come back to me - there's no doubt that I could be more proactive. I've certainly never had any negative response. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
