There were job openings in Red Hat and Sun recently for GNOME hackers.
If you were good enough, you could send in your candidacy.

And there are also a lot of people doing the code in their spare time,
including a lot of core developers[1].

Your inability to contribute more doesn't mean that you're not helping,
but, frankly, with such an attitude, I don't think anyone is interested
in having you contribute.

I would also like to note that you didn't respond to my original reply
to you. Please, Ali, follow the advices I gave you in that e-mail.

[1]: I'd like to point out I'm in that category, whatever people have
the impression of. I'm not being paid to write GNOME code...
