Re: question about debian software development?
Karen,
Now that's a real shame. I gave my best effort to help you and I
initially thought I kind of understood what you were asking, so spent a
bit of time trying to answer. It was only after your reply that I
realised I must have completely misunderstood, and that I wasn't likely
going to be able to understand. I even then still tried to give you some
hopefully useful information about actual known Debian developer hourly
rates, since that seemed to be your repeatedly stated interest.
You then decided to just be rude to me for my troubles.
That is disappointing and I genuinely now do wish that I had not spent
the time. I didn't have any opinion before, but now I do.
Andy
