# This repository and qTox are unmaintained!
|
||
|
||
Due to a lack of resources, qTox is no longer maintained.
|
||
|
||
If someone with provable C++ experience and sufficient resources to maintain
|
||
qTox wants to take over I'm happy to discuss that. Meanwhile **be careful about
|
||
"official forks" of qTox** unless you read it here, they are probably not
|
||
official.
|
||
|
||
I want to take the time and thank all
|
||
[contributors](https://github.com/qTox/qTox/graphs/contributors) and
|
||
especially the long term contributors and founders:

### Help us
|
||
|
||
If you're wondering how could you help, fear not, there are plenty of ways
|
||
:smile:
|
||
|
||
Some of them are:
|
||
|
||
* Spread the good word about qTox to make it more popular :smile:
|
||
* Have an opinion? Make sure to [voice it in the issues that need it] :wink:
|
||
* Fixing [easy issues] or [issues that need help]. Make sure to read
|
||
[Contributing] first though :wink:
|
||
* [Testing] and [reporting bugs]

||
* [Translating, it's easy]
|
||
* [Reviewing and testing pull requests] – you don't need to be able to code to
|
||
do that :wink:
|
||
* Take a task from our Roadmap below
|
||
|
||
### Roadmap
|
||
|
||
Currently qTox is under a feature freeze to clean up our codebase and tools.
|
||
During this time we want to prepare qTox for upcoming new features of toxcore.
|
||
|
||
The next steps are:
|
||
|
||
|
||
* move all toxcore abstractions into their own subproject
|
||
* write basic tests for this Core
|
||
* format the code base
|
||
* rethink our Issue tracker
|
||
|
||
The current state is tracked in the [Code cleanup] project.
|
||
