negatives: indians dont like to work for free
I normally dont respond to mails on the list. but this one caught my attention. "Indians dont like to work for free"... hmm... I suggest you open your eyes and look around. I myself have contributed a lot of my time
Also look at sourceforge.net/projects/efc My aim for this year is to make it better coded(with well defind APIs), more features, good documentation and a good user interface.
Have you had anyone volunteering to join? I cant as i dont do C, but there are hundreds of OSS guys who do C - where are they?
my personal experience - have on and off joined several projects. I now and then see some of my fellow countrymen volunteering to join. almost invariably, they produce a lot of gas - and rarely contribute anything, especially the grunt work ... there are shining exceptions, many mentioned in this thread. But they remain exceptions. Generally, they dont like to work in a team - unless they are the boss. Team work means, often, making compromises debugging others code - documenting others code and pitching in to do the boring stuff. I know the localisation guys have done a lot - but how many of them are there? I get the impression that there is a severe shortage of hands
