Funny, that's not unlike the argument originally made for GDB. And
gee whiz, the developers we never knew of did start coming out of the
blue to do development. Similarly with GCC when we opened up its
development via egcs -- lots of folks started contibuting that had
never contributed before.
Yes, but in both cases there were *some* contributors before. Look, I wish
you're right, that somehow because the sources will be just a little more
available (remember: they've been available for over six years) that folks
will magically appear who want to work on them. I'm just not that optimistic.
