- dig1 2y agoAgree. Writing code is (TBH, only a tiny) part of the project - creating packages for different OSes and distros, testing, filling bug reports, promoting project, writing tips and ticks, articles... Many projects remain unpopular not because the authors aren’t actively maintaining them but because these essential components are missing.
