That, alas, all depends on the devs and their attitude. I use the Pan newsreader. The dev is a member of the support mailing list and listens to the concerns of the users. Sometimes it's not practical for him to change something, but when that happens, he explains why. He also makes it clear that if you're able to work up a patch that does what you want he'll be glad to look at it and fold it in if it doesn't cause other problems. Alas, he's pretty burned out on the project and looking to pass the torch. Compare that to the Gnome devs who avoid the help forum for their project like the plague, and the Fedora devs who either don't frequent their forum or do so incognito. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
