I'm sorry it just doesn't work like that. There are a near infinite number of projects and other pursuits people can devote their time to. It's not reasonable to try to bully anyone who complains about anything promoted on a news or social aggregator to put their free time into working on it.
One project I contributed to in the past was Anki. Since I was using it a lot and getting a lot of value out of it, I felt motivated to contribute some translations for its UI so that the students at my school could use it.
I agree. So why did you bring it up and indirectly suggest their project is a waste of time over a name? I didn't see anyone say "don't like it, contribute".
I also didn't like that line of thinking for the undertone that working on an educational guide is a waste. A sadly growing sentiment as more people shift to a "hustle culture" and forget the joys of solving problems in lieu of making products.
Once more, criticism is fine but not all criticism is equal. The name "bike shedding" came about for a reason
Misleading implies malice or incompetence. The name wasn't fully clear, that's all. Ops intent is clear but maybe not clear enough for those expecting some completely learning path.
This wouldn't even be a 1 story point task to fix (after days/weeks of bikeshedding). seems to be a silly thing to abandon an entire project over a name.
