Thanks for the info. I'm not familiar with the alcor and etienne you speak of, but I take it alcor was a core developer who left the project to work on http://code.google.com/p/qsb-mac/, and that ettiene is the real name of http://code.google.com/u/tiennou7/ (whose activity on http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-quicksilver/ is apparent enough)? If you feel like providing a bit more of the Who's Who In Quicksilver (including yourself!), would be interested to know. :) I just stumbled across http://lipidity.com/apple/cleaning-up-quicksilver/, and it seems like this Ankur is another player in this, or at least was... The most recent post, http://lipidity.com/apple/the-state-of-quicksilver/, is dated 11/28/08. Judging by the comments on his blog though, there seems like sufficient community interest in contributing code and/or money to keep the project going. Would be happy to contribute some or both myself!
Could anyone provide a bit more insight into Quicksilver's roadmap, so that e.g. someone interested in getting started contributing could have a sense of what needs to get done first to move the project forward? Or if it's a case of Just pick something on http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-quicksilver/issues/list and have at it, fair enough. One thing I volunteer to do straight away if there is interest on the part of the project owners is to add some "Interested in contributing? Here's how..." mojo to the project's wiki. Once I figure that out. :) Thanks, Josh On Fri, Jul 24, 2009 at 2:14 PM, nontoppo <[email protected]> wrote: > > Trunk is largely dead IIUC - alcor went off to work on QSB, and > etienne is maintaining B5X over trunk - though I noticed etienne > recently commiting lots to crucible, which is the new core library > that was going to go into QS trunk. > > B5X has substantial fixes for Leopard (triggers etc.), folded in lots > of changes made to reduce memory use and "bloat".
