# 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Due to a lack of resources, qTox is no longer maintained.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:
- [anthonybilinski](https://github.com/anthonybilinski)
- [Diadlo](https://github.com/Diadlo)
- [iphydf](https://github.com/iphydf)
- [nurupo](https://github.com/nurupo)
- [tux3](https://github.com/tux3)
- [zetok](https://github.com/zetok)
It was fun working with all of you and I learned a lot!
`So long, and thanks for all the fish!` - [sudden6](https://github.com/sudden6)

### 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]

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.
