I certainly dont expect you to read every link or response posted in 
this list. I agree that noone would have time for that generally but if 
you want to respond to something I have said, I would have expect you to 
read and understand what I have told. I would consider that a very fair 
expectation. Agreed?

My reply did indicate that the link I provide was about contributing to 
Fedora. You assumed that my response had something to do with coding 
without reading the link I provided. The link said "HelpWanted" which 
was generic enough  in my opinion.

You can also get involved with coding if you want to.   I wouldnt want 
to exclude developers from participating but it is not by far the only 
method to contribute. I dont expect everyone feeling that things can be 
improved to contribute but it would make a significant difference even 
if say half of them does.
