+ As the development of free and open-source software is driven by its
+ users and its contributors, its main goal should at some point be to
+ build a large and dedicated community, so that not only bugs in the
+ source code can get fixed, but also new features be developed.\\

+ that of the \gls{ssr}, can therefore be seen as an important step towards
+ a more diverse user base and by that ensuring its further development.
