That makes sense.
I've never had much of an "active" community of anything -- just a lot of very demanding ticket (issue) submitters. Well, actually, maybe only 10% of the ticket submitters? They still irked me beyond reason. Maybe I need to grow a skin.
Back in the bad old days of FTP, you could put up a gzipped tar file, and it worked for people, or it didn't. Maybe there was a mailing list, or even something on usenet. It seemed a lot more cordial and give-and-take, and less: "When are you going to support XYZ? I've been waiting for 3 whole weeks!"
I just gave up on the new world and pulled the repositories. I guess you could say that I got off the damn kids' lawn! :-)
Thanks!
- codezero 10y agoYep, I am similar to you I think – I've avoided doing much because supporting a community is hard and unless you have a really solid vision about what you will or will not do, incoming requests often seem overwhelming. I do think having a thick skin helps, as well as having distinct contributor guidelines. Trying to please everyone will always wear you down :)
