You can drop an email onto a lot of lists and get the giant vacuum of no reaction for weeks or months at a time. This is a vicious cycle. A lot of sponsors are burnt out on trying to deal with new people who don't seem to have a clue. And a lot of potential new people feel burnt to the crisp by reviews and expectations of being wed to a package for life when all they wanted to do was help someone else use some software. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
