It is where it is today because of cooperation, contribution and generous understanding. People contribute what they can, and they're not necessarily getting paid to do so. If its valuable to others, it gets used. The way I see it, getting anything at all is a bonus. Additionally, not all developers who contribute to Linux live in the US and speak English. I'm guessing that documentation in Russian or Marathi wouldn't be much use to you.. Just something to think about.. thanks, Nivedita
