To RipMan :- If i understand what you are talking about, you think that people shouldn't be rewarded for taking things from the Chinese and releasing? And you also think that these are the only people who release things?
For you're information there are various other ways that people contribute to the mir community and therefore deserve to be rewarded for.
Firstly. Many people develop their OWN applications (a good example is LeoCrasher, she doesn't go to Chinese forums and take their work, she makes applications which are used by hundreds of people, and she does it all by herself). Since you say that people on LOMCN only take things from the Chinese then you must have forgotten about this ^^.
Secondly. People design their OWN maps using the map maker which was released on LOMCN. This is also not using Chinese work and releasing it as their own.
Finally. People who take things from the Chinese, and spend time translating, and even fixing their releases. These people (Milo etc) do the jobs that nobody else wants to do. They spend hours searching for the latest things made by the Chinese and they spend a long time translating their releases. You might say that anyone can do this, but trust me it is much harder than you would think, especially the finding part of it. Anyone that spends that much time trying to improve mir (like milo) should certainly be rewarded.
Since the Europe LOM Community is much smaller than the chinese one, and since we don't have anywhere near as good coders, we have to rely on the Chinese to improve mir, but the important thing is that people are spending time finding and translating these finds so that the private mir community will benefit and these are the people who should be rewarded.
Thank You
