Hi Peter I don't think desktop gives the impression of welcoming new developers. I struggled to get an agreed out-of-process virtual channel implementation then it just sat there without being integrated. All commercial manufacturers seem to be doing their own builds to incorporate the features they want. This isn't a criticism; it just looks to the outsider like rdesktop has a small project team who don't often integrate new features.

Cendio also contributes to many other projects, so we are not able to spend much time on rdesktop. This is a bad situation which is not at all wanted from our side. In other words, more developers are wanted. We do not want to block contribution. > > > Rgds, --- > Peter Åstrand ThinLinc Chief Developer > Cendio AB http://www.cendio.com > Wallenbergs gata 4 > 583 30 Linköping Phone: +46-13-21 46 00 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Colocation vs. Managed Hosting > A question and answer guide to determining the best fit > for your organization - today and in the future. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d > _______________________________________________ > rdesktop-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rdesktop-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ rdesktop-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rdesktop-devel
