While I agree that there are contributions that are either above, below, or just the average, I wouldn't try to make a point on the basis of quantitizing contributions. For all you know, there are other persons, indeed persons like you, who take pride of their work, no matter how big or small it may seem to be in your eyes. I feel that a better metric of contribution fall on the dedication and `heart' of contributing; but alas, there's not much of a way to quantitize that (dedication, mayhaps...) > They all could help quicker and more directly if they could be > routed to the places where they are needed *just now* without a > detour over NM.

Hmm, perhaps they could use some hints not just on the Developers' Corner,[1] but also on the main page?[2] While I must say the main Debian page is jam-packed with news and security updates, I find it too bare for those in the want of contributing; there's just the Corner link. [1] http://www.debian.org/devel/ [2] http://www.debian.org/ Just one thing ought to be sure; whatever things may go, a serious contributor will remain unfazed in contributing to Debian. I just hope that we somehow get out of this rut. Cheers, Zakame - -- Zak B.
