Hi. Long time, not posting about Lazarus.

Of course, there are many, a lot of people, people that use open (or  
free) source software like Lazarus, and many of them request things to  
be done, and return nothing.


Quoting Al Boldi [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


in the beginning, and support them to start walking on their own, then maybe
they will start to contribute, but only when you have been nice and
supportive to them.


But, sometimes a few of them, start getting involved, with few stuff,  
and eventually, get more involved. I don't expect either that a new  
developer builts a whole new IDE in a few days ;-)


Cheers !!!

[lazarus] HowTo increase developer contributions

 Please, correct me, where I am making a mistake in my reasoning.

Things start small like babies; and then they grow-up to become either a 
winner or a looser.  If you want winners, you need to give people a chance 
in the beginning, and support them to start walking on their own, then maybe 
they will start to contribute, but only when you have been nice and 
supportive to them.


Thanks!
