Another one here.
I have also offered to put in a few hundred hours, provided someone
helps me get onto the horse.
I don't mind virtually copying a telephone book by hand, do the "dirty work"
as someone worded it. But I am no programmer, have long forgotten 99%
of the BASIC and PASCAL we had in school, back when there was no monitor
but a teletype instead.
About the rude answers (or no answers at all):
This is not a commercial project, nobody has any interest in customers,
and there is definitely no community management.
We have to take it like it is and get organised by ourselves.
The stupid thing though: Obviously most of what is asked will be read, even
if there is no answer or a rude answer. I myself have asked in three or four
places about proceedings for firmware 1.2.1 and have never received any
answer but instead a warning for posting duplicate questions.
I am now on moderated status and every time I contribute to this forum,
a moderator must make the effort to look into what I write and approve or decline.
Proper community management would have told me to dig out the stubs myself
after the first question, and point me to somebody who might be able and willing
to make me fit for the job.
Yes, your playground, your rules. But I think one could make life easier for
everybody and get more help in coming forward - even for those who are
not too much interested in firmware 1.2.3.
People hear about magic lantern, and whoever buys a 5D Mk3 now will have
1.2.3 on it. The questions will not die, they will grow. Let's work together
to relief the pressure from the kettle.
