OpenIPC is one of those projects where the core team is Russian, and their communication is Russian, and they use Telegram (or a bridge) for everything. As a non-Russian speaker you're pretty lost trying to contribute, and as a result they attract hardly anyone outside the russosphere. I've tried telling them they're artifically limiting their project, but was predictably ignored. This project has so much potential, but it will never be achieved. I've seen this before; projects like that tend to stagnate and die. Openinkpot comes to mind. BTW not a rant against Russians; open source projects do best when they have a lot of contributors from across the world, and that means English.

First of all, software projects in general tend to stagnate and die. If you really want to contribute, I'm sure you can figure out a way. You can always fork it and do your own thing, that's potentially a contribution in itself. It's a little selfish to expect other people to become fluent in technical English and rearrange their project to suit your desires.

Something tells me being closed source while naming it OpenIPC and pretending to be under MIT license mighty be a bigger factor. Being russian and clearly trying to steer project towards drone use https://github.com/OpenIPC/sandbox-fpv https://github.com/OpenIPC/sandbox-fpv doesnt help either, we all know what russian drones are used for right now.
