Have you considered that the reason you have trouble attracting developers is because what you're doing is not attractive to them?

When there are only shiny things and no useful things, hackers stay away. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl@freenetproject.org https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
