It gives back to the community (whose libraries you are using), it encourages you to design a clean and consistent abstraction to the library - which usually results in better code in your application as well.<br /><br />It probably won't end up in other people contributing (unless you are lucky), but it will make other people think you are cool :)Neil Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084722756124486154noreply@blogger.com
