| There is only one answer to this: I would be very happy to review and merge your pull request. I charge by day and my daily fee is 600 euro. Bank details are bellow, once payment is cleared we may proceed :-) Now seriously: Every minute I spend on my OS project I have to cut from my sleep or from time with my family. I would love to review patches, have a chat and perhaps get a free beer, but it is simply not possible. For project maintainers there is simple way to avoid this overload. You need to 'manage your community growth'. If it grows too fast you will be flooded with bug reports, pull requests and emails. For my project I have not provided build system and binary builds for a long time. Users were forced to use IDE and study the code. Also I did not provided any documentation, just a code examples. Key is to attract people with coding skills, who can actually grog code. Also be careful how you advertise your project. You should actually target co-developers (with commit access) instead of users. For example if your project is written in Coffeecript, you should avoid using word 'javascript' on front page and in readme. Sure it hurts number of users in short term. On long run it increased number of power users who do bug triage and answer support questions. The key is to grow number of co-developers together with number of users. |
