My 2 cents!
Yes, One of my friends asked me about the bidi and shaping problems in openbox, Here I'm working on it, Though I didn't complete it yet ;-)
I can simply say no to him and it's over. Yes I can code, And yes I do code and modify some apps I use for myself, But I also report bugs, Ask for new features, ....

I think that's the spirit of the OSS, The bazaar style ;-)

Maybe the image in menus is not an important feature, But If I tell you why I'm using pekwm and not openbox, You'll all laugh at me :-)

I still think that the users are more important, users can find a way to add features, can bring life to a project and/or to the developer, They can do anything, I'm a developer and I know what I'm talking about.

Well, I didn't add anything, but I just like to dip my finger in the water ;-)
