Alot of time developers hear neither. I'll go into bug reports alot of times and just say thanks for programs that I really like.

I had a very hard time learning the user interface with Qcad (CAD software) so I wrote a 10 page click by click how-to. I've gotten a half dozen emails saying "Thank You" and asking for specific help where they got stuck. Search in the Ubuntu forums for QCAD and you'll see the link. Add "Help out in the forums" to your five. They were essential to me getting started. Had not someone in a forum told me that burning an iso is not the same as copying data I would have never gotten Linux to work. I contribute by helping in the forums (Ubuntu mostly).
