In some cases it is even helpful to tell the authors how useful their program and all the hours of work are which they put into their project. Unfortunately, with software development this is the same as with cars or anything. You only contact the manufacturer if something is broken. It can disappoint if you only always hear bad things or at least nothing good about your job. This also recently made one of our core developers in ROCKLinux leave the project. I want to prevent this from happening again. Second thing is that software development and music are not natural buddies, so most musicians using software in this field might not be familiar with the 'usual' feedback channels ... at least not with free software. Well, let's hope this settles out, would be a nice thing for christmas :) Ciao Andreas V. Meier -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
