Er, is that particularly realistic? Even an XHTML-IM alone would
probably be more than enough for a summer, especially integrating
with the existing codebase... let alone "overhauling" the UI.
Xhtml-im is part-written, I was planning on helping with the
plugins code as I have a particular interest in that, and the UI
overhauls weren't to be major. Additionally it was my brother who
happens to live in the same city as me, so co-operation wasn't
going to be an issue. 3 months is a long time to code if you're
doing nothing else.
Anyway, it didn't happen and I'm very sad on behalf of Psi, but
hey, our release schedule will just trundle along at it's usual
slow pace; the features are all planned anyway, it's just likely to
be 2006 sometime. I think I'd put too much hope in getting the help
over the summer :/
Well, I think if Psi in particular wanted someone for Summer of Code,
you should have looked into becoming a sponsor yourself. Psi is
certainly a popular Jabber client, but that's no guarantee that the
JSF would pick proposals specifically for Psi.
If it's your brother and he's already interested in helping out with
open source stuff anyway, perhaps you could still convince him to do
it...
