Looking for New Client Maintainer

[Katharsas]

For future reference:

As i have contributed to the client in the past, i might also help others with getting to know the code, if you didn't get the chance to look at it with Sheikah. However it has been quite some time so my knowledge might not be fully up-to-date.

I would like to be there as well. I thought about contributing to the client for some time now and recently I wrote a bit in Java so it seems like a perfect time. Obviously I am too inexperienced to be a maintainer but I would like to start contributing a little bit.

Not exactly a 'good-first-issue' feature but of those that would like to contribute - this would be a nice milestone to strive for:

A simple ChatBot also does the trick. It just needs to comment each feature request with a "no" and each bug with "works as intended".

For those interested I will be discussing the client architecture and structure in the FAF discord this Saturday June 29th at 18:00 UTC

Please do record it as I can't join but I'd love to view it.

Regarding the question at the end about development on a mac:

There is still the old mac-support branch that contained some changes to enable running the client on Mac:
https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/compare/develop...feature/mac-support

However the client commit it is based on is massively out of date so you would have to check if these changes still apply/ are still needed and re-apply them to the current state of the client.

Has anybody claimed this yet? Java is my language of choice and have used JavaFX quite a bit. I'd love to get in on this.

If you are interested then you should feel free to reach out to me or start by tackling some of the issues to get an introduction to the code base.
