Marek has provided valuable input to several projects. And I dont think that not being a coder means you shouldn't have an opinion. I think the free software world tends to glorify hackers sometimes. Just cos we occasionaly plonk out butts down and scrabble away on a keyboard for a couple of hours doesn't mean we should be treated like royalty. There are plently of people in this community who have put in as much effort as most coders. > If John Q. Hacker cared about PR, he wouldn't be that much of a hacker > would he? :) Heh.
