You mean like this? http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/ Not everyone who works on GNOME (specifically, or Open Source / Free Software in general) is a hardcore coder. There are designers, graphic artists, usability experts, and yes, even documentation writers. Just because you can't code is no reason not to get involved. I do get irritated when people respond to feature requests with "get coding" -- it's arrogant, silly, and in most cases rarely uttered by actual project coders. Making a feature request (a good one, not just saying "Why does project X suck so much? Fix it!", but something with use cases, user stories, the lot) is just as valid a form of participation as sitting down and checking out the code. IMHO. YMMV. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/bcs / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
