In regard to: Re: [oi-dev] Shipping the nano editor alongside with vi, Hung...:

Yes, it's just a single line. But why you give me a read-only file and
asked me to modified it?

It's much more simpler for developer with write access to do it, not me.
And it's within a second, just a single line.

I don't know if other languages and cultures have an equivalent, but there
is a proverb[1] that applies here:

        If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.
        If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

Teaching someone (or helping them learn) how to do something is often
more useful than just doing something (once) for them.

Aurélien is trying to help you to learn to fish.

Learning how to clone oi-userland, create a branch, make a very simple
change like this, and submit a pull request (PR) is very useful knowledge
to have for anyone that wants to contribute to OI.  There are certainly
other ways to contribute, but since you're posting to the oi-dev list,
it seems like you might be interested in the development process.  Knowing
the workflow for submitting a change is potentially beneficial to you.

Yes, he could do it in just a couple minutes.  But then you've missed an
opportunity to learn something that might allow you to contribute to OI.

[1] the origin of this proverb appears to be quite contested, but it
    seems like it might be Lao-Tzu.

I have trouble using the vi editor even though I have my mobile phone with me as a 
backup showing the vi tutorial. And I think many other novice users have the same 
trouble as me.

most of us come from Linux. It will be easier for us. Thanks.
