However with this comes increased responsibility.” • Users „Users are the people who use the products that the Project produces. People in this role aren't contributing code, but they are using the products, reporting bugs, and making feature requests and suggestions. Users are also encouraged to report problem reports using the bug tracking system.” • Contributors „Users who contribute code or documentation become developers. Developers are the people who contribute code, fixes, documentation, or other work that goes into the product. Developers are expected to be proactive in reporting problems in the bug tracking system.”
