Don't forget that we're all volunteers, working on MadWifi for one
reason or the other. Each of us has own preferences, for various
reasons, all of them being valid.

Yes, we run low on resources. But given the available amount of
man-power we're already doing a great job.

Of course, I'd also like to see more people (that includes me as well)
working on outstanding issues, and it would great if that were the known
kernel panics. But that doesn't mean that other issues are not worthy to
spend work on.

Personally I highly appreciate any kind of work spent on the project, no
matter if it is about fixing typos in the messages printed to the system
logs, changing existing wiki pages, adding new documentation to the
wiki, helping other people with their issues or fixing kernel panics
after debugging that driver for hours and hours.

That being said, I second Matt. Complaining about others who spend their
time on problems that appear to be less important for the one who
complains is the same kind of "deck chair rearrangement" that person is
complaining about. It doesn't help, other than possibly driving one of
the few volunteers away.

You're welcome to concentrate on fixing kernel panics and other stuff
that is important for you, and your help will be appreciated as high as
every other help. You're also welcome to start questioning various
things that are going on - as long as you accept that others might have
other preferences and oppinions, and that they're as valid as yours are.

Bye, Mike
