I think your judgment of others not wanting to join your project is a little off. It's kind of odd to attack others for not sharing desire to work on a particular project. Why is it that you think everyone in the community should share YOUR priorities? Why do you think everyone else should necessarily think the project is important or would be worth spending their time working on? Maybe if you want cheapie free crap, PHP is where you should be looking in the first place.
It's not all attributable to laziness. Take me for instance, few people in this world would ever call me lazy, but you'll certainly not catch me participating in a project like this. I wish those who do all the best, but there's just no upside in it for me. It's certainly not something I'd ever choose to do with my spare time, of which I have very little to begin with. I work my ass off all day long and then I go home and concentrate on my #1 priority - kids. Then, in the small amount of spare time I do have, I'll work on attaining new rental property, playing hockey and climbing. I can't tell you how far down the list of leisure-time activities I'd have to go before I found the bullet point, "working on an open source project." So, I think it's more a matter of people's priorities than it is with whether or not they're lazy. Some of you guys like to go home from your dev jobs and sit in front of a computer and that's fine for you. For those like me though, we'd have to be forced at gunpoint to stare at a monitor for more time than it takes to add some new stuff to the iPod after getting home from a long day at work. I'm guessing that's the main reason that these projects are difficult to get done and it's hardly something for which they/we ought to be attacked. If you want to do something and it's important to you, then why don't you get off YOUR lazy ass and do it instead of expecting others to get it done and attacking the community at large for not sharing your desire to work on it. --Ferg dave wrote: >I agree with some of justins points but the other communities don't seem to >have that excuse so why should we?
