First off, Bruce, welcome to the list! I'm sure Juhana didn't mean
to sound so negative right off the bat. It's great that you're
making the effort to contribute to the Linux audio software scene,
and we definitely appreciate it. After all, when you write free
software, there's never anybody forcing you to do it.
That said, Juhana does have a valid point. There's been a fair
bit of discussion on the list about the shortage of programmers,
and how we'd all collectively acheive more if there was less
duplication of effort. Nobody can force you to join their
project rather than pursuing your own, but we can open your
eyes to alternatives you might not have known about before.
