There are several types of OpenSource developers and with the exception freelancers none of them will or can accept money for fixing a bug/implementing a feature. > It's a typical misconception among some users of open source software that > developers somehow owe you something. Of course they don't but once you have a product (OpenSource or not) there are certain quality levels that are expected. The problem with OpenSource is that OpenSource developers will rather spend 48 hour writing excuses why they can't implement feature ABC then implement it in 2 hours. > They do not.

ROFL, good joke :-D Probably never tried that did you? Btw. I'm an OpenSource developer, success rate of patches is pretty much zero once they actually do change something. I don't care because I have no problem with maintaining a fork. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
