I think it is a very important aspect to understand that noone will do your work for you in a reasonable timeframe in a project that you will find respectable. Your best chances to get new things in or bugs fixed is to send a PR along with a patch to the developers; but from time to time not even that will do it. Good that you realized it, though. I think that people who did are the force which is driving Open Source. Tonnerre [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
