Re: Segfault when viewing HTML files with "mc -v"

[Alexander Kriegisch <Alexander Kriegisch name>]

Nikos, never mind, I had the same problems when first I wanted to create a ticket with some patches for bugfixes and new features. And do not be shocked about the security warning in the browser. The developers say it is meant to be this way.

My impression is that this project is kind of dead anyway. Nobody ever really cared about my inquiries on this list or my well documented ticket #2742 on midnight-commander.org, even though I am offering major improvements for subshell support and worked my ass off to get the patches working in a way which might seem fit to be committed (I do not even speak C, so it was kinda hard for me, but this is my own problem, I am just mentioning it).

I think that the honourable guys working in their spare time on this project just do not have enough of it to spend. So if you or anyone else on this list really knows how to write good C code and are interested in pushing this project forward, I think you should contact the core developers and offer your assistance. My abilities are too limited C-wise, so I think fresh blood needs to come from other directions.

Sorry to the development team if this message might sound a bit polemic, I do not mean to insult anyone. It is always easier to talk than to act, I am aware of that. But I do think this project needs another structure in order to gain more momentum. What I can do to help I am offering here and now: I am a professional agile project management coach (http://scrum-master.de, sorry the page is in German). What spare time I have I can dedicate to setting up a Scrum or Kanban process for you guys if you are interested.
