Hi folks, and welcome, Asher. :-)

I'm excited to see someone willing to work on Adium!

I'd very much like to participate. Even in recent years with little to zero 
development activity, I've thought about Adium a lot and I've been working on a 
proposal on how to move forward once we have a release out with the Catalina 
auto-scrolling fix. I'd be happy to talk about it here soon.

I'd also like to offer guidance to Asher (or any other new contributor). Even 
though I cannot read or write code, I think I am quite familiar with many, many 
things relating to the Adium Project that are important to know, for example 
what the different development branches contain and what state they are in.

Speaking of branches: Asher started development on Adium's Github account. 
While it's great to see him being eager to get to work, I too think it would 
have been good to get feedback for a move to Github here – even with the lack 
of activity on this very list. It's just quite a fundamental change. With its 
popularity Github lowers the barrier not just for Asher but also other 
potential contributors which is obviously a good thing. But I wonder whether 
are other questions to consider: Will it make updating libpurple harder? What 
happens to commit history?

Onwards and upwards!

Kind regards,
Robbie
