RE: take on those of other contributors

well, recent code rejection because it contains certain unwanted portions that could be easily modified to suite the needs of the project, is a pet peeve of mine. *cough*upload queue code*cough*

quality of code is a good point, but!.. why throw away good code when it just needs certain mods to work as-needed.

this intimidates and most likely scares new developers away when the code quality bar is set too high. we wont get contribution at all if the developers think they are wasting their time.

i wasnt even the writer of the code but i felt the sympathy for him.. being rejected because the code was not written exactly as wanted. (which he wasnt even given any guidlines).. he was just bored and took on the feature request list at lw.org.

this guy seemed REALLY talented and needed almost no motivation to start work on a project. but later seemed disinterested because his work went to dev/null. if he had some direction, and was given cvs access to the code, im pretty damn sure frostwire would be a hell of an innovator in features. (he codes pretty damn fast.)
