In my case, not because I needed to but        DW> because I wanted to.              Like I said to Andre, that is a lot different than taking over a dead       project, putting your name on it, compiling it, and claiming you're its       developer is a lot different than actually making a contribution to a       project.              For example, I have compiled the ProBoard source code. Does that make me       its developer? No. Now if I went in there, fixed bugs, added features, and       made improvements in general, and released the compiled program, I'd still       not call myself a developer. Just improved it.              With MBSE, I've contributed code, worked on the docs, and have done several       things yet I don't consider myself a developer; just a member of the       development team.              -- Sean              ...
