Actually its not about perspective. All open source projects started somewhere. There are many of us that are chomping at the bit to dig in to the code. I haven't worked in C or C++ in 15+ years but it should be fun to dig in there and see if I can help out in some way. Might be fun to return to C++ time will tell.
As for all the white knight expert programmers, no clue. I'm not a game programmer, I build business applications for a living. Nah, not an expert but not clueless either.
Trust the people with the experience, that's what their here for.
