[Cuis-dev] VectorEnginePlugin: parts in motion

[Hilaire Fernandes]

Thanks Ken for your technical note. It is great.

About Free Software contributions, it is a subtle balance between self 
competences, motivations, self-interest and desire to learn new things. 
As most of us are volunteer, one key point is really motivation and 
self-interest.

To keep the rock rolling, volunteers are well advised to both contribute 
in a mixture of what they like the most and the needs of the Cuis community.

The first point is aligned with one internal interest, short sighted. 
The second point, while of lower internal interest, improves the 
motivation in the longer term by improving self-confidence: "I 
contribute something useful to other, I am useful, I am cool.". The 
human is social animal ;-)

Best

Hilaire
