What has happened, seems like uTox development has stopped !?

It is my favourite client, would be bad to lose it...

cebe commented 9 years ago

It has not stopped, most of the work is just on other branches which would break if merged into master right now.

thanks @cebe

Serverkill commented 9 years ago

OK, so there is still hope, thanks for replying.

BTW, best wishes to people participating in this project, secure and open source im/voice chat program is very necessary in today's world! I would gladly help if I only knew more about programming...

@Serverkill there's plenty of things you can do even if you know nothing about programming. You could update the pictures on the Github README.md, you could improve the linux man page, you could write better documentation, you could create a changelog file, you could read through the issues, and see if anything is already fixed, comment on something you think is important, or propose a suggestion for another way of solving an already open issue.

One way to contribute is i think for non programmers is to mass promote Tox and uTox and there is chances that more C developers will arrive for help. I myself do everything in my power to get more people know Tox.

My personal way is to hunt for news related of security, online encryption, NSA wiretapping, Snowden or anything that has potential to catch more hands to Tox.

Tip: Always warn that Tox is still in heavy development so people can know what to except currently if you post somewhere.

GrayHatter commented 9 years ago

if you do that, make sure you're targeting advanced users, an influx of support requests will just leave a bad taste about tox hindering our ablity to attract users who already think we're broken
