    I wrangle code and servers for a living. The very last thing I want to do after a day of wrangling code and servers is spend my evening or weekend wrangling code and servers, especially outdated Perl that is a miracle we even keep functioning.

    As for editing and other contributions of that sort, I have plenty of organizational work to do right now elsewhere, and that task seems like it would be setting myself up for grief, not fun.

    I have utmost respect to the people who do this work, precisely because I don't want to!
