 # Quote of the Week
 
-<!-- QOTW goes here -->
+> Don't come empty-handed to a project saying "this could be rewritten in Rust". It's obnoxious and gives the rust community a bad name.  
+> Do start the project on your own, adding Rust to the build system and converting some significant functions, and then ask the project's community for comments.
