Hi Nik, Thank you for your offer! Regarding your work on smartcard, I'm sorry I didn't find the time to take a closer look at it, but please keep doing what you're doing :)
As for avoiding asking someone to commit to a non-paying second job, that's pretty much always been the issue for community involvement. In fact, getting true commitment is a rare thing, and being the ability to assign tasks to people usually only works with the people who will actually do a second, non-paying job of helping out. It's not an issue with FreeRDP, it's an issue with open source projects in general, and that's why the number one excuse why things don't get done is always time and resources. I suggest you hop on IRC, this is where a lot of the day to day discussions happen. The key people you need to synchronize with are also usually there. We can guide you towards many tasks that would help for the release cycle, and you can definitely give Bernhard a hand on the amazing job he's already been doing.
