Wow, why all the downvotes? The original article said "People change jobs, change wives, have kids, accidents, and so on. So everything in VLC needs to be done so that we can continue without you." I really don't get how "changing wives" fits here so was asking a legitamate question. And I got some legitamate answers too -- e.g. you might have had a wife that supported your volunteer coding financially or otherwise.
