Sorry to reply so late but here you have hit the core of the question. Many
times I've tried to do something that failed in a miserable way (i.e.
miserable/hobbist/old programmer). BTW, contribute to an open source
project can be done as programmer, tester, artist, disigner, marketter etc.
So if someone has a good idea to improve the project but is not able to
implement it, I think there is nothing wrong with proposing it here without
this being interpreted as a request that the core developers must do. If
anyone knows how to do it, and overall want to do it, well, otherwise it
goes on and nothing changes. Anyway I want to say thanks to all of you, old
and new developers
Salvatore
