I'm looking for contributors for ayttm (http://ayttm.sourceforge.net/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayttm)
If you're interested, mail me offlist and I'll tell you how to get started.
Note that there's no money involved in this. You'll be putting in your time and talents for no compensation whatsoever.

Friends, Indians and Countrymen, some time back Philip had posted a request for contributors to the above mentioned projects. He is very unhappy that no one from this list has responded. Being a man of few words, he will not ask again and again but I feel that this is a serious matter for us to think about. We have a lot of good programmers on this list but why is no one volunteering to help in the progress and development of FOSS? Please stop this fighting about controversial topics and flaming each other's bottoms and lets all try to complete existing projects that have already been started within a *short_time_frame*. Those who are not volunteering for such projects can still participate by keeping the flames out and avoid distraction or diversion of the topic in hand.
So do we see some hands raised? Anyone willing to volunteer?
Regards,
Rony.

Few questions -
where do you intend to take it to ? Considering developments in gaim, gossip and telepathy framework upcoming in gnome.
There needs to be a cool factor to entice people. Any such ?

Sometime Today, Chetan S assembled some asciibets to say:

it's up to whoever takes up development.

A straightfwd thing i can see is to port the interface to gtk2.x , its currently using..gtk 1.2.x.. which is kind of ancient... from the code it seems some part maybe simple some part (where some extended widgets used) would be tricky.. or maybe redone.. Looks cool to do that way! :-)

My initial scan of the code says that it wouldn't be too hard to get it to compile with gtk-2.x. There's some constant that has to be defined to make gtk-2.0 use deprecated widgets. This will get around the initial problem without much code change.
Once that is done, we can look at replacing deprecated widgets with their recommended replacements.

I am willing to volunteer. I didnt see this thread cuz I haven't been connected to the internet for a while now :( I got some 200 odd mails from this list when I finally got connected today :P
Anyway, I have a lot of ideas but little clue as to implementing them in GTK...
