All for avoiding Panini's, but we're a Content Collaboration Platform - and Nextcloud Social fits certainly well in that.
WRT server-side encryption, it gets work all the time, though it is mostly an enterprise feature that gets love when enterprises pay for that. Very few volunteers work on it, if any. Help is of course welcome, in the end - either somebody pays for it, or somebody puts in free time.
This is true for every open source project, of course.
WRT MediaGoblin, no worries, it isn't like Nextcloud Social has all our attention. I guestimate it is at most 5% of our engineering time, if that. That is enough to make it work and improve it release over release, and we'll put in more if there is customer interest or lots of community contributions, but we always start such new things small. Talk started as a night-long-hacking-to-prove-it-could-be-done and now has 3-4 engineers on it full-time, because customers want to pay for it. Which also means it doesn't take away from other things - if we didn't do it, we simply couldn't afford these engineers in the first place. It isn't like they would work on server-side encryption ;-)
- privong 8y agoOkay, that makes sense and makes me feel better about it. Thanks for responding and clarifying.
