Key problem #1 in open source: There are so many people out there with some
programming skills and so few with project management skills. End is that
most popular projects have a fork or two. Just look at freshmeat.net for a
year or two and most hypes get forked. Nice, but useless waste of effort. I
think it *is* the proper way to say: Hey here I am, can I help. And then the
package maintainers must rise their heads and check if they can load off some
load on this new strong soul, but, no, most package maintainers are so deep
into their own problems that this extra energy goes to waste.
I want to help you with your shoe, but you have to tell me where it hurts as
long as you don't let me wear it...
