No.
If you don't contribute code, I suggest you do not complain about its
quality, or exert pressure on others to do something about it.

If you really want to help Open Source Software (whatever that is), I
suggest more substantial contributions are necessary.
Developers need
. encouragement - what could be a more sincere gesture of appreciation
than any of
- a case of the right stuff
- a cheque
- some good chocolates (bait)
- a good book
- a personal letter or postcard
- something for their kids
. cash - if people are developing for MS platforms, they
need to buy MS visual studio etc etc in order that
they can give their code away.
. and what it sounds like you are already doing.
If you want to know of people producing good stuff and are struggling
please, I will let you know.
Yours sincerely.

continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a

me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
