Maybe i made myself not very clear. Sorry about that.

I mention this as reading topics here shows the same behavior. 
People complain. Specific people here keep responding how the 
complainer needs to do it themselves or pay for it. Tracing the 
people that "complained" there post history, shows that most of 
them simply do not post anymore, after being told to do it 
themselves.

I do not want to wast people there time, i only responded to this 
here because its obvious pattern. I agree that this seems to be a 
very small community and it is hard to get things done in a small 
community. But it is counter productive to constantly tell people 
that there is no solution, they need to do it or pay for it. Its 
like hearing a broken record that keeps skipping to the same beat.

People who have the time and willingness to do so, WILL do it 
themselves without being told on a forum. All the rest is simply 
negative PR for the people who lurk ( not post ) and read the 
comments.

The 'we' refers to me and my colleague. And 'we' do mean that the 
amount of posting here that ask people to do the work is way more 
then on other language forums. We understand the reasoning but 
its about first impressions. And when anybody reads comments 
stating the above too many times, it simply feels like the 
community is too small to support the language. Causation and 
effect. The more pushing does not result in more people actually 
contributing. It can have the reverse effect of actually pushing 
people away.

Its beating a dead horse because i expect that months from now, 
the same pattern will still be here. Need to get back to actual 
work or the boss will be less happy. And that person pushing that 
much more effect :)
