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? peterw;255788 Wrote: > And I'm terribly concerned that the comments about discontinuing work on > Softsqueeze hint at a future of fatter Jive clients that we neither can, > nor are willfully allowed to, tweak. 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!
