If getting new contributors ( like Tony is fyi )is that important, IMNSHO approaching them like this doesn't help.
Like what? Please elaborate...
Henne I could easily read it as questioning the user's motivations. Like some others did. A the-eyes-of-the- beholder story.
Can we agree that new contributors need to feel welcome? That their best motivation is them enjoying what they do. That manually getting new contributors in ( which I have been and am actively doing ) becomes harder when they get questioned ( not you specific ) in a "Who are you?" tone.? Mind, Henne, like you I also feel that the biggest issue the one of getting new, committed contributors, but if I count the number of people that were ready to start or had already started, yet stepped away disappointed, there IMNSHO is a very good reason for the Project to have a look at how we've been doing things ourselves. Hope that answers that. -- Gertjan Lettink a.k.a. Knurpht openSUSE Forums Team openSUSE Mods Team
