Hi Thomas, I'm sorry to hear your reasons for handing your leadership over to someone else. Roundcube is so far a great app and I use it often. Whether I had sufficient webprogrammer skills I would help to develop roundcube. But for now it's for me an insuperable challenge that would waste a lot of time even before I can commit my first lines of code. And I try to commit a patch some day:-) I hope that roundcube will be develop any longer!
