Lack of feedback - same thing. Go out into the forum, download interesting addons, talk to the people who provide them, let them know what you think. If you want feedback for your own work, start by giving feedback to the work of others. That's how it works. And yes, lack of recognition is sometimes a problem. Basically, you have to do things because you want to, and you have to be enthusiastic enough to pull others along so that they can see and appreciate your vision of how things could be. Again, requires a lot of patience. I wish that many things here would be different. I wish people would collaborate on projects more often, instead of everyone developing his own pet project and half of them dying for lack of interest. But I've come to realize that it's not going to happen because I wish it to happen - things are only happening my way if I slowly work towards it, talk to people an unholy amount of time and try to convince them that I am serious and have a case. | |||
And to people who have stated (rightly or wrongly) that they don't feel the core developers are active enough in the forums: | |||
When asking on the devel list why people keep the mailing list separate from the forum, the response I got was along the lines of 'We like to exchange information, and in the Forum we get to hear only noise - petty complaints, lazy questions and so on - so we stay where the information relevant for development flows'. | When asking on the devel list why people keep the mailing list separate from the forum, the response I got was along the lines of 'We like to exchange information, and in the Forum we get to hear only noise - petty complaints, lazy questions and so on - so we stay where the information relevant for development flows'. | ||
