Actually quite a bit. First, I contend that because someone may have mucked around with code, that does *not* make them a developer. Ask Paul Frields, current Project Leader, former Project Board member. He has mucked about with code, but does not consider himself a developer. I'm even more in that camp. I do *everything* in Fedora (practically) except develop code and package software, the latter more from laziness and time factors. (I'm using myself as an example because I am a Board member and long time leader in Docs, Marketing, etc.) Also, in Fedora we tend to call people 'developers' who mainly package code from other developers. Many packagers are more system administrators than developers, in their Fedora work or $dayjob. Just clarifying that since it appears you are coming with a preset conclusion about how Fedora is directed. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Community Gardener Dev Fu : http://developer.redhatmagazine.com Fedora : http://quaid.fedorapeople.org gpg key : AD0E0C41
