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.
