contributing ideas is contributing, though not as much as patches.
and--in the same vein--users are definitely part of the community as their questions/experiences/bug reports all aid in development. On 11/28/06, Greg Reddin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

The number of people contributing to Tiles has grown from one to three (and I haven't really contributed anything but ideas in a while). I don't mean in any way to diminish the contributions of those who built Tiles in the first place or initially moved it to the sandbox. But where does it go in the future? I don't want to spend a whole lot of time lobbying for and building a TLP for three people. I suppose we could get it going to test the waters - if you build it they will come. But I'm not sure if they will come yet. There's a lot of people who *use* Tiles, but how many of them are legacy users who don't want to grow with it? How many of them will be contributors? I'd love to hear thoughts from people who have gone down this road with other projects as well as from David and Antonio.
