I know it is popular, but in my experience, people who are interested in this contribute the least.

Documentation is at least as important but even more tedious. There is a number of options, from what I have seen of Cory's posts, documentation and testing are at the top of the list. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkniM8EACgkQwRXgH3rKGfN10ACghLE/huTl/Jp8ee48MUNVvMJ9 Q6AAniV5Qqd9k3s7Bjjj+o0rNYr2XVgo =wO0E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
