That is the advantage when doing FOSS. You do have the time. There is
not boss or customer behind your back. Teh problem in FOSS is just the
priorities of the developers and their management of time and
resources.

One important skill of a FOSS developer/contributor is to know when to
stop and saying "no".
Anyway, I also think I won't make a difference when the whole system
(Debian) is against me. There is much more to do then just updating
wiki pages. I do respect the docracy but there are limits. And that is
where the project management should be somehow involved.
