The Forgotten Servers Future!
I was thinking about TFS project today in comparison to another project I have seen to do with another online game and realized how much TFS would benefit if it recruited more developers. It seems that the TFS project is slowly dieing due to lack of development. I understand that it's a free project that people are doing from their spare time, but I know that there will be some people out there that would like to help develop.
If someone could put together a strict requirement list and what-not I think that TFS development would start to bloom with more devs and more progress. I love the devs at the moment but it just seems like its stian, elf(not so much lately), and occasionally I see shawak that does development for 0.4. Then there is Tala with his 0.2 series.
If we can get a new wave of developers to work on the project with the current devs it would increase the projects progress a lot
It is just a suggestion, but I think it would be really great for TFS project.

It's not easy to find new developers with potential to develop The Forgotten Server further that actually has any free time, to help for free. I've recently recruited Fallen and Holix as developers for 0.2, and I'm not into recruiting more developers because I don't want to create a mess and development of 0.2 is working fine as it is.
There is no need for a new project manager to 0.4 (I assume you mean 0.3 though, because 0.4 development hasn't started) either, it's just going to create a pressure which won't help anything. It's going to be released when it's ready and if it doesn't satisfy you, go create your own server or help us address all the known issues. It's unfortunate that elf is inactive these days, but he will still be around to release the server when it's ready to be released.
That's not true. I'm not making any money from The Forgotten Server (except for people who pay me for support, but that's completely unrelated to this), and I have been keeping a distance from 0.3 since it's development started because I didn't like the changes that were being made to it. If I recall correctly, 0.3 development even started before it was possible to donate to OtLand, so no, I'm not choosing to not project manage it because OtLand is receiving more donations while 0.3.7 hasn't been released. In fact, I was the one to suggest releasing 0.3.7 back in August without talking to elf first, which appeared to be a mistake and that is why it was withdrawn.
