+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> OK, thanks to both of you. If the issue resurfaces it would be great to
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> post the discussion on the forum and this list so that the greatest
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> number of users can share their opinions with those who make it happen.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Much like the poll, it would help allocate limited dev/packager
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> resources to where it does the most good.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Packagers are volunteers, they are not &quot;ressources&quot; to be allocated, so
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I think the formulation is to be revised.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> If no one want to work on something, it will not happen. That's as
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> simple as that.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Well volunteers are certainly resources. Whether they choose to work on
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> a project is of course up to them, but the fact they contribute makes
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> them a resource to the organization. In this case a vital resource that
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> needs to be treated well. That said, someone like myself could
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> potentially work in many different areas such as answering questions on
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the ML or forum, updating the wiki, updating the website, writing
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> documentation, even light coding or packaging. I could potentially be
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &quot;allocated&quot; to the area with the greatest need and I wouldn't care one
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> way or the other. I think it would be a shame to to see the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> devs/packagers/maintainers put a lot of effort into a distro that they
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> loved working on but no one would use. New users are a source of new
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> contributors which can make the experience better for all of us.
+</I>&gt;<i> As you say, you have the freedom to work on what you prefer to do, and
+</I>&gt;<i> given the tense you used, In infer that you are not doing it yet. So the
+</I>&gt;<i> question that come to my mind is &quot;why don't you start now ?&quot;.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>Fair question, especially since I've always contributed to projects in
+the past. The short answer is that I have serious personal/employment
+issues which require all of my time currently, but I will do as much as
+I can.
