The Mibew Messenger project is alive and plans to remain so.
Probably many of you noticed that recently project's activity was utterly low. The reason for that situation was a trivial absence of time of a project's founder.
Intended to save Mibew Messenger as an upcoming free/libre software product it was decided to transfer the project to the new team of developers.
So, here we are.
Who we are?Just a small team of developers, nothing special. See contacts page for more details.
Why we do this?Short answer: because we don't want Mibew Messenger to die.
Long and honest answer: because we use Mibew Messenger for our own projects and don't want Mibew Messenger to die.
What we are planning to do?- Officially release version 1.6.5 with a bunch of security fixes and small improvements. It will be released under a new, more permissive Apache Software License. And you will no longer have to ask us about links removement: it will be up to you and your conscience.
Actually this version was around for awhile, but wasn't released. We'll fix it really soon. - Continue to develop a new version of Mibew Messenger and try to release it in the late autumn. Developers already can take a look at it (and take part in development process) on Github.
- Completely rebuild a project's website and this forum. We hate bots, you know.
What we need?We need you. To help us improve Mibew Messenger, make it better, more secure and powerful. To clean up this forum and make it a nice place to ask questions and get answers about Mibew Messenger and related projects. To form a stable and friendly opensource community.
So that's it. Oh, and the last but not least.
We hereby declare that
Mibew Messenger will stay free/libre. At least while we are running this project.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
And stay tuned.
