Start coding is not a good response to people that comes with
suggestions. Everybody know that GNU/Linux is free software and that it
is possible to contribute. However, the person who gives us the
suggestion may not have the skill, or time to do it himself.
That doesn't mean that his idea is bad. (I'm talking about ideas in
general. I have no oppinion on the SRPM issue). By posting he may get
somebody else interested, or he might expand our knowledge on how Linux
is used, so why should they not post.
By giving answers like "Start coding" we discourage newbies or non tech
savy user from giving suggestions. It is very important to pick up
oppinion from such users as you as a programmer often get blind to how
ordinary users, as secretarys and such, use their computers and what
problems they have. Just ansvering start codig, doesn't add anything useful.
