Some open source projects are very welcoming, some not so. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to try to contribute only to be 'greeted' with deafening silence. They should *always* value contributors as that is the future for these projects.
I just found myself asking this: "What is needed to get this thing moving? Or is 'the silence' the way of saying no thank you?"
I think I know the answer... now asking myself "why did I even bother in the first place".
