On a more serious note, all these rumours about people being turned away are just false. Only one who gets turned away are DPC and known trolls. For all the "legit" people I suppose part of the problem is that there is no official recruitment channel for the dev team right now when there should be. The truth of the matter is that a lot of progress relies on a few very key people and when those people burn out, everything grinds to a halt. Of course second issue is how to replace them properly, and there's two schools of thinking here:
1. recruit with few restrictions, if people don't do anything afterwards they get chucked
2. recruit only people who are known for their willingness to work and skills, but this will take time, luck and will not bring in a lot of people
Both approaches have their pros and cons.
If you actually do want to help and aren't just blowing hot air (I direct this to all reading, not any particular individual) either contact a dev team member with a list of the skills that you'd be willing to bring onboard, or wait until we inevitably post a recruitment drive for the dev team because being totally honest here the current situation is simply unsustainable.
