It's not really anyones fault, I think there's a reason for this; Roughly, we have two types (in the computer realm) - The Hackers (good hackers!) and the Programmers. A Hacker will try anything regardless of 'if it's supposed to work or not'. Hackers are what made the C64 PC so popular (C64 (Commodore 64) was probably the most hacked PC ever). On the other hand, Programmers follow rules and do not like to depart from that.
In general, Hackers have some knowledge of programming while a good Programmer is highly educated in his area.
The trick is to have a highly educated programmer that likes to hack, and has no qualms about it (hacking, trying anything). Keep in mind, to me, hacking is not a bad word, and it is a main ingredient to a lot of good things that happened in the computing world.
That's why I tried to tell some people, you have to get the fixes posted in ASAP, not worry about if it's perfect. People like Derision obliviously know what they are doing (a highly educated programmer that likes to hack?), and don't need to be oppressed by the useless bureaucracy that has developed here. In fact, I now see other submissions(from other people) that were posted a long time ago and were totally ignored? why? Because someone said it was not going to work?
New stuff needs to get placed in the source, if it doesn't work, well, we all know this is beta (alpha?), it can be taken out again.
But I'm tired trying to get this project to 'rise from the dead'. I finally learned how to add all these submissions myself, to my own source.
