I was referring to the people who are working on the XSLT piece of
Mozilla, not one of them is getting paid for their effort. And there's
nothing wrong with that...they are doing it because they want to. The
point I was trying to make was that this woman was criticizing their
efforts, which in my opinion is ridiculous. She has the opportunity to
use or not use the software, it's open and it's free. If she doesn't
like the way things are going, she can step in and help out...or she can
use something else. Constructive criticism is fine, but when you just
"blame" people who are spending their nights and weekends for not
getting things done fast enough, I think that's plain wrong.
