Yeah, definitely. Only here it's not a lack of leadership, it's a lack of personnel. Definitely take a look at the old git source, but know it's outdated. Putting effort into making things public has over the years become a waste of time, since nobody interested in doing something has 'got the goods.' Usually ends up with a bunch of time wasted answering questions that the code answers, and the person decides 'wow this is hard' and moves on. Feel free to jump into the chat if you actually know what you're doing, there's plenty of stuff that needs to be done, Rajko often wishes he could duplicate himself.
Also you'll see some requests on the forum for different things, stuff non-experts can do, but nobody picks up even that. Or it's picked up and quickly dropped. Anyway, definitely see if something needs doing, but don't bother if you're 'hobby' level, it'll end up just being frustrating for both of you. Definitely mean that in a positive, 'trying to save you some trouble' kind of way. And yes, Valve/Duke Nukem Forever 'when it's done' is the ETA. Too bad DNF was weak though.
