[Adium-devl] Summer of Code '09

[Christopher Forsythe]

The same thing is happening to Growl as well (hence my speaking up). My
opinion is that part of the problem is all of the easy problems are gone,
and part of it is that it's just busy during this time of year. There's not
a lot of new developers coming forward like there used to be as well for
both projects.

I'd suggest telling google to give all of the mentor spots to pidgin, since
that'll help Adium. As to the drop off in activity, I think a discussion
regarding this has to happen at some point to help the project move forward,
otherwise it'll just continue. I'd say new thread on that though.
