Re: Using % type functions/using RPG IV

I think you mis-understand the development model; many hands make the
load lighter or according to ERS "many eyeballs" make the load lighter.
There are two kinds of people involved in open source, those who
contribute and those who reap the rewards. Both have a place and are
required in order for any open source project to work.
There are many different ways to contribute, project description,
testing, authoring, document maintenance, site maintenance and the list
goes on and on. Those of us who have a few minutes give a few minutes,
those with a few spare hours give those few spare hours.

You can debate about why open source won't work or you can make it work.
The unarguable, potential benefits far out weigh any minor difficulty
encountered in achieving that goal.
