Before starting work on something...

[Daniel Holbach]

Hello everybody,

I'm sure this happened to all of us already: you start work on something
and notice that somebody else had already done the work. If a lot of
work was involved, it's quite a waste of time and if work from new
contributors is ignored that's a bit discouraging. Of course nobody
really is to blame for that, it's a side-effect of working in a quite
complex system.

Still I'd like to encourage everybody to dive into

before starting to work on something. Sometimes you'll find easy bugs or
patches you can fix with the same upload or if you're lucky you'll find
somebody else who did the work already.

(If you find bugs in Harvest, please file them - if you want to help
out, you're very welcome. :-))

Have a great day,
 Daniel
