My first impression from the BIOS open source project was an effort to expand knowledge not to earn money!!
If any one wants to earn money he will find a technical job, will get involved in deadlines of the project, will tolerate the pressure and stress of a challenging and rewarding work.
I thought we were here to help each other to understand the details of the science and technology involved and become ready to invent something new or to become ready for the projects in the market.
Though spending money for this case seems contrary to the first purposes of the project but money might be paid to responsible and eligible technical people. Who you recommend and where are those?
I am ready to develop code for Coreboot but my knowledge is not enough and I suspect the knowledge of many users of this mailing list to be enough for it!!

Hi,
let me explain a few things.

The reason some of you do not like to answer is not lack of time. It is because you do not want other people know about the details of the

We will tell you about the details of our project if you are friendly and if you read the documentation.
Rudolf, answering my questions take you not more than a few minutes of
your
time and it is not a waste of time. Answering technical questions are not
a
waste of time, never, as it is a kind of practice and helps people keep their knowledge updated or refreshed. I did not ask you about economics, politics and the subjects unrelated to computer science, how can i waste your time? It is something you can benefit from if you think about it
unless
you have other reasons (that I am aware of!!)
We do not benefit from explaining things to you. You have shown an unwillingness to learn independently, so the project does not benefit from explaining things to you either. BUT... if you pay some of us _enough_ money, they will treat you as a customer and explain things to you even if you are unwilling to do any work yourself.
Even if you promised to help us with developing coreboot, we would not benefit until the amount of development done by you saves other developers more time than they lose explaining things to you. We do not know you, and we have no way to make sure if you really intend to help or if you're just trolling. Your behaviour so far is pretty close to trolling.
I asked some questions to understand the overall framework of the work without going into the details. I knew about the wiki site of Coreboot before, how could i register at this mailing list while I found it by Coreboot site!!?
Apparently you found the wiki, but you're unwilling or unable to read and understand the main contents, and focused on the mailing list instructions instead.
Go read wiki or the source code are the solutions I knew myself, i have
the
source and the Internet connection...
And why don't you do that?
You have three choices:
- Be friendly. Read the source/documentation. We'll explain the rest.
- Pay someone to explain this in private.
- Leave.
