Hey Everyone! *Looks Around* … Echoes?
Somehow, after two decades and plenty of bit rot, Adium still manages to be not only functional but IMO still the best chat option around (kudos to Evan and others for doing such an outstanding job writing sustainable code). That said, it seems there has been quite a bit of inevitable creep, particularly in repository organization. I’m going to work on cleaning that up as well as updating the code base. While doing so, I’d like to avoid stepping on any toes as much as possible— but given how much needs to be moved around, that may be inevitable. So in the interest of coordination, could anyone that is still active or would like to participate in this process (even if only by way of dialogue) please sound off? If I can get a sense of who is still interested in participating in Adium it will help figure out the best way to approach things. Thanks!
