I have been thinking about joining gaim development in some manner for awhile. It's the open source project I am most interested in (besides Firefox) and I have been following it for quite a while. Further, while I am relatively unskilled I still think I can usefully contribute. It seems to me the area I could best contribute right now would be a new UI for Windows. It seems the developers would prefer this actually be a separate project that uses libpurple - is this correct? Are there any projects out there, as I know it is better to join an existing one than start a new one? Finally, do the developers have any words of wisdom / recommendations for where I could get involved? That is, would it be better if I spend time helping with the current windows build or even time helping with the Pidgin code? For what it is worth, I run Mac OS X, Ubuntu, and Win XP on 4 different machines at my house, and I run IM clients on all of them regularly, including now starting to video chat (primarily for when I travel). Obviously I can do a good deal of testing. So - any advice or areas you'd like me to get involved? My ears are open. :D ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
