So, what is required. How can we engage the community in making squid-3
stable ? There seems to be non-trivial interest in making it happen, but
whats the actual benchmark ?
I'll start using it again and pushing forward with bug reports if there's
someone there to work on them...last time I tried squid-3 I was seeing some odd
stuff with client side connections being closed randomly and requiring frequent
refreshing with my end browser, but at the time I didn't gather anything useful.
There are definately people doing things around the source - I think
harnessing the energy is the issue. I only have a small amount of time,
and I'll probably be using it on toolchain support to make it easier for
others to fix bugs - because thats something effective I can do in the
timeframes I have available.
That's cool.
Changing the subject a little, there have been many new people introduce
themselves on this list maybe with good intentions of working on squid, who seem
to vanish as fast as they arrive. I wonder if they've simply (a) never intended
to contribute in the first place, (b) done some work privately but never
released it or (c) taken a good look at the code, and run away fast deciding it
was all too hard ;-)
From a development perspective, I think it'd be of value to know why are there
not more people developing squid. It seems to be just a "hardcore" few.........
I've added some missing files - I could swear I had added them. Is that
better?
Yes, gets much further now, but runs into grief again here:

I guess a few more missing files.
