Hi Esteve, I'm not a big commiter as you are, but i still fixed some bugs and started nice enhancement to thrift, some that were submitted but never applied, and some that i finally never finished due to the lack of motivation going around here... I'm so disappointed to see how hard it is to get something committed on Thrift while there are dozens of official contributors and tons of commits each day on a huge project like VLC. How the hell could a little project like thrift grow up with a so slow and limited contribution model ? Seriously... I totally get your point and +1 your reaction. Cheers, Jérémie
