Actually, it surprises none of us!! ;-)

We try to "harness the power of the bazaar", which promises
great software if we follow the principles.  See the CatB paper:

  http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-bazaar.html

Freeciv is good because of the contributions of many many people,
who want to help just as you do.  You are welcome to join in.

I would suggest trying the "How to contribute" link on the
Freeciv web page:

  http://www.freeciv.org/contribute.html

This will teach you how to generate "diff" files, which are the
"currency" of changes within our project.  Send us a diff and we
can put it in!!

Regards,

Mitch.
