I don't think this is out of the question. I recently subscribed to cvs-all ( about 3 weeks ago ) because I was curious to see what was going on. I assumed that cvs-all must also be on committers because now I'm getting that mail as well :-) Anyways, I may fall into the above category. Most ( ok basically all ) of my coding now a days is in perl simply because it's usually a matter of getting something done, and soon. There was a time where I did a "little" bit of C, but nothing even in the same solar system that you folks are in. Yesterday I was going to ask if there was something that someone without the coding skills to fix these things could do to help. I didn't bother because from tone of the thread alot of the difficulty seemed to be in getting people help fix things in a semi-reasonable amount of time. I do have some time in a normal week to help, but like I said, no where even close ( even in my dreams ) to coding skills to fix or review these kinds of things. If there is indeed a desire/need and room for a person/persons to help in this area then I would like to go on that list.
