As a further note: a luke-warm reception to an idea or suggestions does
not necessarily mean that there is opposition to the idea, more likely it
means that it's not sufficiently interesting for someone to drop what
they're doing to work on it. That presents a great opportunity for one to
get involved.
It's been my experience that while one [someone who wants something done]
might not always have their "wish list item" done for them, the powers
that be are often more than willing to guide a motiviated individual on
their journey or give access to whatever is needed in order to get the
job done.
That means that you don't need to be a core developer or speak Swedish to
contribute. You don't even need to have a lot of Pike experience to
participate. It may imply a little more commitment than filling out a form
on a web page, but I suspect the contribution would be met with relatively
more appreciation, too.
Anyhow, enough rambling for today...
