Thank you for sharing this view. This was my fear and it is useful to get this view. To me I would be happy having more contributions regardless of quality. A contribution in itself is wonderful as it shows an interest in the work that is being done and a will to help with that work. We should be striving to mentor any developer who contributes poor quality code not see this as a negative thing. To me this is what is so beautiful about open source development - we get the opportunity to create awesome things and create awesome developers. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
