I don't think that it's necessarily quality but features. LXDE and LXDM target netbooks and alike and therefor things like NIS or Samba authentication are not necessarily top priority. > I am NOT a good coder, so i cannot say a thing about that, BUT > i know that in openSUSE we have good developers that really wish to > contribute.

Have they filed bug reports in the tracker?

To me it seems that the author of this rant doesn't care for minimum standards of community driven development. Sorry to say so, we really could use his help since he seems to have good programming skills. Andrea, please guide these people to us, we really can need their help. Complaining and ranting on the other hand helps nobody.
