Also being asked "try something out" like a snapshot or setup.exe does not
require knowledge of C, C++, configure, etc. It just requires taking the
time to try the software and report back with a success or failure.
So, the attitude of "I am not a really good programmer" isn't a particularly
good excuse for not contributing either.
I would love to have some more people contributing code but having
knowledgeable people trying out new features would be very valuable,
too.
