Hmmmm....I don't differentiate (and it would be hard) between "mere
coding" and "innovating". As long as people on the company payroll code
and fix bugs in a project, that company is supporting the project. And
frankly, I think Red Hat's Owen Taylor's i18n efforts are just as much
innovation as Eazel's nautilus, and more important to that Israeli crowd.
For those of you living in a cave, i18n support is hard, and there are a
lot of conceptual problems to solve.
