Hi Karel

I think you have not understund how an open source project works.

An open source project is writen by people who did that in their spare
time for fun and they are kind enough to share their job with other
people. A user who face a problem in using that project trying to solve
the problem and if he find a nice solution then usally give it back to the
project to help other users. If the user is not capable to solve the
problem then kindly ask for help, then somebody stoping his job and spend
some time to help him so the user have to thank him for spending his time
in trying to help no matter if his effort have good results or not.

Demanding things in an open source project is the most sure way to dont
have a help, sometimes you may dont have a response at all.
