Sounds great.

Nobody is looking for your praise.

I hope you're not the one looking for praise.  I can't imagine that
your pep talk has done a great deal to motivate people to spend time
improving the Gentoo Keys experience.

Do you want to see this fixed?
Are you willing to do the fixing yourself?

If the answer to the first question is yes, and the second is no, then
you've just volunteered for the job of either community motivator, or
frustrated user.  The goal then is to make people care more about
going out of their way to fix things than going out of their way to
find ways to make you even more frustrated.  Which do you think is
going to be more emotionally satisfying to those who read this thread?
