We Need to Save What Made Linux and FOSS Possible
So the initial letter hits upon something that the article itself ignores, namely that the FOSS community requires <i>more than just developers</i>. I see this attitude all the time in certain circles that only the developers contribute any value to a project, and prospective contributors should either learn to code or get f--ked.  It&#x27;s not terribly welcoming to the larger community (of whom the majority are <i>not</i> developers), and the fact that many of these projects lack adequate documentation, wide availability, or a centralized support forum only reinforces that understanding.<p>It&#x27;s a problem that can be remedied, provided the projects stop pretending that the packagers, technical writers, GUI&#x2F;UX artists, and community managers are expendable.
