By building a closed-source client?
Cool project; it's really impressive and I'd love to use once it gets stable, but don't you think your claim is a bit incompatible with your method?
- amedvednikov 9y agoIt's going to be open-sourced at some point, just not now. What I meant is I'm building an alternative client that gives people a lot more freedom. For example, you can use XMPP as your primary messenger, and still communicate with your teammates via Slack. You can also have access to all your history and a much, much better instant search. In the future, an IRC/XMPP gateway will be built in as well.
- nukeop 9y agoWhy not now?
- la_oveja 9y agoOpening a project early to contributors can end in mixed milestones, and the project may never archieve an "stable" status. I might not be using the best words, so I'll give examples: Dolphin, the GameCube/Wii emulator did not release it's source code until the program's structure was mature enough to start adding thirth party code without disrupting the project's core codebase.
