Comment (by madboymont):
If you think that mi previous post seems aggressive, well, let's have a
look at the global situation. Users are requesting essential features
needed for a nowadays IM client, that clearly have a major impact in the
architecture. Developers put the excuse that they want to keep the
architecture stable in order not to do this work, but the funny thing
comes when they put that feature request in a category named "Patches
Welcome". This is an open source project, right, you tell me that I have
no right to say you what to do with your free time, you're right. In this
case the thing could be allowing new developers join the team, but some of
the required skills you ask I look at them as excessive. I think that
asking for someone with 5 years of C development experience and
undocumented network protocols is very restrictive, and gives the idea
that you don't want new people in your team. And as Yerch said: "That, my
friends, is a problem".
