Hello,

As stated, I want to contribute, but I'm finding it surprisingly difficult.
The project seems to be in a state of semi-abandonment, its source using
technologies and dependencies from over 5 years ago, many of them now
deprecated or a thing of the past (ADOdb, the old mysql extension or
Smarty, to name a few).

 I don't know which one is the "official" site or how to report a bug
correctly. I don't even know which one is the canon source for the source
code:

Sites that may be official (or not):
 - https://gnu.io/fm/
 - https://www.gnu.org/software/gnufm/

Source code:
 - git://gitorious.org/foocorp/gnu-fm.git (as stated on gnu.org, it's
hosted on gitorious which is long dead)
 - https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-fm.git (gnu.io)
 - https://gitlab.com/foocorp/gnu-fm.git
 - https://github.com/foocorp/gnu-fm.git

Four different sources, all seem legit. Gitlab has its own bug reporter,
the bug report tool listed on the sites has its certificate expired. An the
worst thing is that wherever you get the code from, it hasn't received a
commit for a long, long time.

Many of the resources under foocorp.net are down, something an account is
blocked: http://bugs.foocorp.net/projects/fm/wiki

But anyway, I downloaded one of them, installed it and (after disabling
error displaying) ran it successfully. So, what now?

How can I help? What is the state of the project and is there an updated
roadmap? Is there a bugtracker with actual issues to solve? Any intention
of using modern "de-facto" standards (composer, PSR, Twig, maybe even a
framework like Symfony, Silex, Laravel, you name it).

Cheers!
