The beauty of open source is that we can choose how to waste our
time. ;) For example, I spend my free time maintaining a personal
information manager[1] written in an obscure programming language[2]
for an environment[3] that scares the heck out of most people.

People hack what they want to hack. If you feel some areas are
getting neglected, hack on them or find ways to promote them so
that they get more mindshare. =)

far to go in terms of English fluency... ;) )
