Don't piss off the programmers! ;-)
If you're not a programmer, restrain yourself from suggesting how easy
this or that thing would be to do. These guys simply *do not* need your
"input". Remember that this is *open source* and that if you think
something is worth doing that nobody else is working on, you need to
take on the project yourself.
Its either that, or quietly move on with your life. Just because these
guys are working out in the open doesn't mean you go demanding this or
that from them, or telling them how simple it would be for them to do
whatever it is you think needs being done.
If you want to test this, go to your local gourmet restaurant and barge
into the kitchen with all your ideas about how the chef is doing things
wrong and about how simple it would be for them to take your ideas and
make their food better. You will be out on your ass in a heartbeat, and
the same holds true here.
