Peter I don't understand what point you are making here? One of my
objectives at the start of the project was to allow for community
contributions to Jive. In what way is the design of the Jive software
making it less amenable to customization?

Well no one seems to have noticed much that Softsqueeze has had little
developmental over the past couple of years. It used to be an excuse to
due some coding outside of the day job for enjoyment. Stopping
development was not planned, but after starting to work for SD/Logitech
I have had little spare time to develop it.

Softsqueeze is certainly not going away overnight, and the code is all
available under the GPL so I would be happy for someone to step and and
take over it's maintenance. You never know it might even turn into a
good career move ;)

I think erland has made some good comments regarding the license,
certainly the team here want to encourage community contributions. We
could not have released the Jive application software and kept that
closed.

I also don't understand where you get the idea of fatter Jive clients
from? Jive will always be leaner than Softsqueeze, it is after all
intended for 200MHz ARM devices with 64MB of memory!
