Anyway, I have this file -rw-r--r-- 1 19561 2009-01-13 03:26 DietCherries17 where I have 17 tiny documentation patches that sent to git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but nothing happened. Perhaps I could send them to a volunteer who could see if any of them are useful and then do something with them. Thanks.
That's really not how things work around here, or on any OSS project I've ever been engaged in. It's your itch to scratch, so before you have a chance of getting anyone else to scratch it for you, you have to either make those others interested enough to volunteer to do it for you, or you get to scratch away as much as you like yourself. The longer and more difficult way is to scratch the itches of so many others that people want to help you out because the chance you'll do something else which is *also* productive is high enough to warrant it. So far, you seem more interested in shooting from the hip, sending patches at random that have little or no impact on anything and that nobody else is genuinely interested in. That's fine if you also pick up the pieces of your poor aim and actually follow through but when it really just causes more work for others than the end-result would have been worth to start with, the net result is counter-productive and you have to work harder when you have ideas/patches that are actually good than you would have been forced to with a better overall signal-to-noise ratio. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@xxxxxx OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
