Don't feel guilty! Testing is contribution too. You downloaded the 
software, configured it on yet-another-system, used (tested) it for a 
while.

Also, in pcb-rnd, we have tons of tasks that need to be done and don't 
require any programming skills. We already integrated many contributors 
who say they are not programmers that way. All it takes is some (minimal) 
PCB/EE knowledge, a text editor and free time. Heck, we have multiple
contributors who are not even using pcb-rnd or anything geda-related, lol.

If you have free time and you want to join the team, you know where to 
find us!

Regards,

Igor2
