Re: getting new members

I understand your problem Ahmad, but believe it or not when I started
myself working on linux some 5 years ago, I went through every irc
channel outa there: KDE, gnome, xfree even the kernel irc and all what I
got was the same answers like you today. 
The problem is ppl are very busy AND/OR they assume you are technically
skilled, the core hackers on linux don't realize till today that many
new ppl from the windows field are migrating to the linux field.
But I helped you and I passed a whole night with you ;) don't forget me
man ;))

Well but NEVER give-up ask about every detail if one says to you well
the lpr driver doesn't work or cups doesn't support lpt ask directly,
what's cups? or what is an lpr driver? or what is this whole sh#+ you're
speaking about no one will say NO I don't answer.
I met ppl who stayed with me 7 hours so that I could ompile gnome 2.0
for eg. simply ask all will answer. But no one assumes you are newbie.
>From your perspective you think they have to understand I am a newbie
but from the others perspective they assume he's a linux hacker as me...
Everyone sees the other from his perspective which is very normal so
simply ask, and you'll get answers.

So as you worked very nicely on the files I gave you do you want to
become an official gnome translator? I didn't hear any answer from you
;)
