Shall keep your comments in mind.  Have heard people here screaming about 
wanting to get paid.  It is a shame that people contribute to the project
when they are still in a survival situation.  To work with love and devotion,
one has to raise oneself beyond survival to be a contributing member of society.

As for myself, fixing bugs is the most rewarding part.  Have been involved in
marshaling the fixing bugs for many years in industrial settings.  But here 
people
do not seem to be at ease.
