And what is the problem with that?
I mean, it sounds as if that is a bad thing that people are dedicating their free time at the betterment of something that can be used freely by everyone, including you
If you want others (different color, sex, gender, race, abilities, sexual preferences) to have a bigger part of that pie, then have more of them jump in.
I am guessing that most of the greybeards are here doing this because they can, abs like it. Help others to he able to help out
The problem the article highlights is not the considerable amount of "graybeards," but the lack of everyone else.
The problem is: how?
I personally enjoy working with open source projects because I like making code to help other people. But, apparently, that's not enough of an incentive for other people.
Or, of course, they don't have the time/resources
