      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with gftp that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      Lot's of opportunity in this project, quite a large list of errors.

      It looks like this project is in need of someone to approach the current developer/s and give them some encouragement & help with fixing issues.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.
