OK guys... Let me throw some cold water to this debate and clarify things since I know where everybody is coming from.
Cory K., as myself is tired of a lack of quid pro cuo from the community. We deal in a daily basis with people with a lot of sudden motivation to help, that need to learn a lot. Which don't get me wrong, it isn't bad, we all were newcomers when we started but we grab their hand and spend a lot of our time helping this newcomers to see them just disappear a few days later. I suppose everybody here has some IRC experience... it is the development example of when in a support channel, somebody comes in without reading the manual, machine guns questions about his problem, expects quick and extensive replies, and when he gets his problem fixed he just logs off from irc and bye bye for ever. no writing down the fix somewhere other people can find it, no staying around the irc channel to help other newcomers. We Ubuntu Studio developers, and Ubuntu developers in general are volunteers. So just imagine how frustrating it can be to loose time frequently with this people. Meaning no offence to thomas fischer I can tell he hasn't even done a launchpad search, and he comes and asks Cory to explain him the problem into detail. Stating he doesn't have time, well, we don't too and here comes Cory's reply... "When you're willing to help, I'll answer. I get more than enough "suggestions" on a daily basis." Maybe the word selection was not correct. What he means is please research, use your time and offer me a solution. Just not come along, ask me to stop and answer 5 questions, and try something this list which contains some stuff that has already been done. My respect to Fernando, he proves interest too bad he lacks the technical knowledge, I do sincerely hope he finds it very fun, enjoys it and learns from it. About Eddie, show some respect please. Free software is a meritocratic system. Please don't come here trying to get a flame war started, go contribute as best as you can in the project that you like best. Now throw the rocks at me if you like...
