How are you little? Little as in not enough of a programmer? or little as in occasional contributor? If you wish to be more than an occasional contributor, there is a lot that can be done while not being a C programmer. A lot can be done on documentation, promotion, testing, organising, etc.
True enough...I do enough testing right now to consider it a substantial contribution, actually ;-)
However, it still is difficult to ascertain where contributions should be made with such vitriolic discussions going on.
I only wish to point out my hopes that a successful resolution of conflict, and a tight integration process will happen, so it is clear to any level of contributor where things go, and where effort is needed.
There are contributions that many people want and that somehow Miller doesn't want. The number of those contributions is increasing. This causes the divergence. To stop the divergence, either Miller has to follow, or people have to stop coding things that Miller refuses to take. If Miller doesn't follow, then I don't know why I'd even try stopping devel from diverging.
Ok I see.
