I’d like to introduce to you all my cousin Asher Haig. He is one of Adium’s longest-term and heaviest users. I’ll never forget redesigning the Events system with his help while visiting him in Berlin over Spring Break circa 2004. He has a PhD in artificial intelligence, and is a skilled programmer, with a primary background in C and C++.
He uses Adium daily and is interested in helping maintain and improve it. I’ve added him directly to the GitHub team and to the committers list. There’s nobody active enough right now to provide useful and timely code review if we were to follow the “traditional” patch process. I’ve been working with him to get him acclimated to the code, though that often takes the form of “Hm, I do remember when we wrote that hack 14 years ago…” or “Yeah, that was a workaround for a bug in Mac OS X 10.2.” Good times. Best, Evan
