IMO the biggest hurdle in contributing to UAE is not learning to code
per se, but learning the Amiga/68K architecture, which is a much more
difficult proposition. Granted there is much of UAE unrelated to JIT,
and one doesn't necessarily need to be Bernd Meyer to contribute some
useful enhancements or fixes, but ultimately I think even experienced
programmers might have difficulty really getting to grips with it.

Sadly I must join you.
It's not that I'm not interested, it's just that there simply are not
enough hours in the day for me to pursue everything that interests me
... in computing and elsewhere.
I hereby renounce my right to complain about UAE's stagnation :)
