Re: [Playerstage-developers] Player & Stage 2.1.0rc1

[Jordi <mu...@gm...>]

May I suggest to review the already contributed patches?
In the tracking system there are patches sitting there more than 2 years. I
guess they not longer apply to 2.1 or were already applied but maybe not.
As occasional contributor to several projects, I know the feeling of writing
a patch and be ignored. The number of open old patches in the tracking
system tend to show the chances you have to be ignored and tend to scare
contributors.

I am not arguing that playerstage has a problem. I only argue that taking
care of people's patches even just to close them as not applicable,
encourage new contributors.
