[support] Re: CVS account and need for a drupal design champion....

[Isaac Horton]

This is exactly the kind of response that leaves me wondering.....
im just trying to get into the contributions.
i can login via eclipse anonymously no problem.
this raises a much bigger issue.
.
It works like this for me.. ive got x % of time to donate to the "drupal 
cause".
so far for me 60% of x has been spent in frustration due to no cvs 
access, poor themeing structure and loose organizational support of 
design in the drupal community?
how much can I endure, before ive become worn and jaded to whats really 
possible here?? (how many before me have just walked away after 
confronting such difficulty?)
i feel like the type of contributions someone like me (a designer) can 
make is _drastically _limited because of the extra hoops I have to jump 
through. just to contribute..aka(volunteer)? im growing weary of trying 
so hard...
Its insulting and further incentive to use other tools that manifest a 
more win/win (timesaving)approach vs. the standard drupal approach that 
ive observed...."make it really hard, really really hard to 
contribute.... and if youre a designer.... well just go &^%$ yourself... 
and go away" (or be prepared to donate a vast amount of time to do 
something that other orgs have automated and appear to care more about.

i like drupal. i want to help...
but i can only "tread water"(keep it up) for so long while the system 
thats currently in place serves to suppress my motivation.
Isnt there anyone in the Drupal Core team who "champions" the need for 
good design?
will this ever be addressed?
Does anyone even care?
sorry for the gurmbles! but this needs to be said.......
