Abiword: Support Expectations

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-think-about dept.

bockman writes "Abiword developers have put up a letter, explaining what they expect from their user community and what the community should (and should not) expect from a volunteer-based open source software project like theirs. A much needed reality-check in these times when a large number of non-developers have joined the Linux users world." This is a must read for anyone who uses any open source software.

    Now wait a minute. Based off your User # you've obviously been reading slashdot for a while.

    User numbers? Why back in my day we didn't have usernumbers, hell it wasn't even slashdot back then... why I remember when it wasn't even chips'n'dips gosh darnit!

    Seriously though, it scares me when a 6 figure user id is considered "here a while" :) How high are we up to these days Rob?
