I think the developers have a moral responsibility to make an attempt to at least answer questions and bug reports. Even if the answer is just: I'm too busy now...please check back later. If you don't have time to respond for a protracted time, then it's time to give up stewardship of the project to someone who has more resources available.... I am just as guilty of being slow to answer as most other folks, so this is not to cast blame. I do think your crass assumption that developers owe nothing to the users of their code is quite wrong though.

Indeed, but unfortunately developers don't always have time to look at everything. regards, Rik -- "Linux holds advantages over the single-vendor commercial OS" -- Microsoft's "Competing with Linux" document http://www.surriel.com/ http://distro.conectiva.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread
