feed the geeks

Matt Stephenson, the maintainer of the samba package for OS X, liked my docs and based on my feedback will move the package into the stable tree. It seems he has gotten no feedback from anyone, and never knew if it just “worked for him” or just worked.

So send an email to the author of that port, package or utility you use daily and tell him what it means to you. In the gift culture that is the open source world and to some extent the internet, that kind of thing really counts.

Do it now.
