No one is going to "reject" your efforts, although it may be harder
to get them "accepted" into the distribution. But if you can make the
results backwards compatible, one assumes there will be others who will
make good use of them.
But if the encouragement you seek is, as is often the case around here,
more a request for approval, _that_ is seldom granted here. Also,
actual contributions from the audience are rare, specially positive ones.
Don't look for such and go ahead and code, that is what gets you noddy
points :-) If you have a specific question, this is a great place to
get an answer, not a great place to give shape to vague ideas.
I sincerely hope the above can be construed as encouragement, it is
certainly intended as such.
