Folks who contribute are _very_ valuable, as it it our contribution-base that gives our most direct exposure to our user-base. Advocacy, bug reports, anything. Any time you help move the project forward, even by small steps, is appreciated more than you can imagine, and more than I can hope to know. It is such small steps that has given the project the credibility that it has, and it is thanks to folks who give a damn to maintain that status.
