And herein lies the beauty of the noble meritocratic free software
movement.  

If the community needs it, a member of said community has both complete
unfettered freedom and a supportive environment to make it.   Any amount
of success at such an endeavor, even a feeble failure of an attempt,
would bring kudos the hero who attempts such a feat and possibly
organize unfathomable resources in the attendance of such a lofty goal.

Make us proud Ilias.  But whatever you do, don't beg.
