Leave everything the way it is.
Users have, it claims, also complained of missing functionality, a lack of usability and poor interoperability.I don't want to rant against linux apps but seriously i see the point. Check out pencil animation app and synfig. You'll find that pencil is very easy to use whereas synfig built-on GIMP toolkit and is extremely hard to use. I mean seriously, it'll take plenty of time to figure out what the heck is synfig. I'll not be surprised if any user prefers to buy toonboom or anime/manga studio or even pencil (free) instead of wasting time learning synfig. Problem with linux developers is that they build things without thinking about users. I mean if you want to 'get things done' then you need to build software with some focused interface instead of scattered widgets like Gimp/synfig.
Are they going to take my articles and make hundreds of articles out of them?Yes. That thing is called spinner. There are two types of spinner -human and machine. Machine spinner generates articles in matter of few seconds-minutes when you set it with spun words. Your article contains few words which they're going to use for spinning 10x or more time. Google can't decide the quality of any text and that way they can easily get away from it. Human spinners-rewriters are in much safe zone because your article is rewritten and sentence is changed completely. Welcome to gray area in SEO business.

If they can't change their algorithms enough to detect this cancer, then a crowdsource effort is a good start. At the least, you won't see the same stuff over and over.If this is the way they want to correct their mistakes then even this attempt can be gamed. Many black-hat users now can create a job on microworkers/elance/mechanical turk for small or big bonus and will ask to filter competitor websites. If the new algorithm is going to detect the pattern of users then sure we're back at square 1.

Man, wouldn't it be wonderful for a company to just start making cell phones that are blank slates, not tied to any carrier?
Symbian is dead.Eh ? i do see less expensive devices using that OS. Sony Erricson is using that OS on low cost mobiles.
Wouldn't that fall more under the heading of contract coding as opposed to fundraising?
Might not be a bad paid service to offer on an ongoing basis, although how you'd square a pay-for-requested-code system with the donation model espoused by Mouser is anybody's guess.
