Relationships need time, listening, observing, thinking, building, 
exchanging, trusting, creating, ..... all that imho should be contained 
in 'a little patience and concentration' :) The announcement is so 
young, may be we should not conclude before it matures a bit. That 
doesn't prevent discussion of course, but no conclusion yet.

Now to your bug Pieter, you're sad because it's a 4 years old bug, but 
it's an easy hack, so try to promote it any where you can, we will very 
warmly welcome any developer with low skills who want to improve his 
knowledge, so don't hesitate to be active in searching for this [easy] 
hacker.

Kind regards
Sophie
