Hi,
I'm not a developer, yet, but I'm starting to write some small things
using ecasound's control interface from python. As part of learning
ecasound I'm reading the ecasound-list archives. I came across this
quote from Kai recently:
"... advice for free-sw developers: don't do anything that is not fun!"

I looked into hydrogen code. To learn. I looked
into lot of little projects
code. Dead projects. To learn. And IMHO they're not useless. Maybe my
project will be dead at the end of the year. But then i made my experience
and still can join hydrogen or other projects.
I agree with you and I don't think that you, or anybody else spend their times
badly if they start new projects, on the contrary, the more the merrier! :)
The main requirement when you are about to create something is motivation. If
you don't have that and start poking at something you will sooner or later
run out of steam, unless you have an iron will.
This might be the case if someone tells you which project project to start on,
it'll work for a while, but then it's quite probable that you would lose
interest.
