     @nixCraft I agree but also, the problem with meaningful open source projects is that they are hard to get into. The first time I tried to understand how mozilla Firefox development works I got a headache, same goes with Linux. And I get why they are how they are, because using github might not work for a project that large. Either way is difficult.

     @nixCraft it is like the problem with linux in general. Good people spend time creating a new distro rather than developing useful software packages.
