Not so fast, Corporal, there is some merit to the comment. First thing to think about is who is going to use this software? If you're some lonesome coder who never releases it for public use, then it doesn't matter what you do. But when you're writing software for other people to use, then it's no longer a solitary exercise, but- dare I use the word- a community endeavor. Are we not inundated with 'FOSS community' talk? Everyone is invited to participate- if you can't code, you can submit bug reports, feature requests, write documentation, help other users on forums and mail lists, and so on.
There are a lot of fundamental features in Linux that should be bulletproof by now, instead of continual exercises in frustration. I wouldn't call this project a waste of time. But I wish more FOSS devs would invest their talents in that last 5% of polish and refinement, instead of continually inventing new projects that never get fully-baked.
