I'd have to say I'm getting pretty tired of hearing comments like
that.  I frankly am getting a bit upset at the lack of assistance and
community involvement in the project.  5 years since this was open
sourced and the bulk of the work still has to be done by a very small
core team.  I'm rapidly reaching the point where my interest in
contributing reaches the tipping point.  We need contributions of any
kind.  If you don't think you have the savvy, then doing nothing to
help will ensure you never develop the savvy either.  I'd rather be
spending my time correcting mistakes of somebody who's making an
effort to contribute than to feel like I need to handle every single
detail of the project myself, otherwise, it just doesn't get done.
The continued health of this project requires an active, growing
community.  If that's not going to happen, then perhaps it's time to
pull the plug on the initiative.
