I was going to caution against this too. I've had similar experiences |
| 26 |
on college committees where faculty invited students to participate. |
| 27 |
They really didn't understand the issues and wasted our time with |
| 28 |
non-sequitors. It was probably equally frustrating to them because they |
| 29 |
tried but could not contribute. I understand that some contributors are |
| 30 |
more active than some devs, but how would the process differentiate? |
