Re: [phpGroupWare-users] Re: Various issues

I was going to respond to this, but then i realized...
every couple of months we get a list of questions like this and I make
an effort to answer them.  They always result in responses like "X
does this and Y does this" and "you should work on this".  Well, YOU
work on it.  This is 100% volunteer project, we have no funding, no
corporate backing, no full time, or even part time, developers,
bug/patch maintainers, QA team, nothing.  Why not?  No one volunteers
for these tasks.  We know the faults all too well, but we have to EAT
so things like documentation goes missing.

find a flaw, someone will probably fix it.  want better docs, write them.
