[Tfug] Pleasurable distraction

[sitkaa at email.arizona.edu]

Lookihg through "Managing Open Source Projects" and "Extreme 
Programming for Web
Projects", I can see that you don't neccesarily need to understand how 
to write
in a computer language, but somebody does...
(It probably helps, particularly with the boolean logic (if that term is still
used today, I don't know), but how neccessary it is.)

Looked through Sourceforge a while back and thought that it required 
too high an
entry level for to do anything useful. Maybe that isn't the case. It has got
175,000 registered projects. Surely not all of these projects are completed.
Perhaps most of these are just proposals?
