We'd like to avoid such unpleasant surprises, but how to get the word out?
More prominent placement of how to contribute would probably help. The PGF could help with this as well once it is done. Right now it is ether on how to contribute unless you know where to look.
Right now on the front page when we ask for support we are asking for people to donate money. We don't need money. We need people. The support
link goes to bandwidth but a great deal of the project is hosted over
many, many servers with many providers. That really isn't as much of an issue anymore. At least IMHO.
If it were I there would be a big link in bright text (not literally) that says, "How to contribute" on the front page of the website. This would go to a page that talks about the different ways to contribute
with contacts for each topic.
Who is head of Documentation?
Who can I talk to about submitting patches?
To libpq
To ECPG
To JDBC
etc....What is the CVS policy?
Anyway... just some thoughts.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake Command Prompt, Inc.
