I lost interest in maintaining XMPP4R a long time ago. For the last few years, i've considered it my duty to continue to do the minimum work required to keep it in an acceptable shape, but it's time to acknowledge that I'm not motivated anymore to do that.
I'm quite disappointed by how the development community around XMPP4R turned out. First, there was xmpp4r-simple, which was a fork intended at making it "simple". I never got what was "not simple" about XMPP4R, and why improving it required to fork it without communicating with me. Then, there's all the github stuff. Apparently, it's perfectly fine to just fork projects, fix bugs, and never notify the original author. It's not really the kind of practices I like in Free Software development. So, I'm abandonning it. If you want to take it over, please do. I won't hand over the project at gna.org, but can add a pointer to your new project once you start making releases. It would be better if you changed the name, so people don't get confused. I'm also orphaning the Debian package for it. - Lucas _______________________________________________ Xmpp4r-devel mailing list Xmpp4r-devel@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xmpp4r-devel
