[squid-users] Sponsors

Hi,
I realise that anytime a user request for a feature,
the issue of someone sponsoring its development is
brought up. Is it that squid has now lost or run out
of developers? Or is this how open source projects
have mainly been developed?

Is it that there should be a drive for developers? Or
a formal online donation system? Has squid lost its
position in open source proxy/cache to some other and
hence the developers? Or is it the drop in bandwidth
prices?

May be someone can enlighten us and suggest a way
forward. Not all of us users are developers, but
considering how useful squid is, we have to think of
how to bring many more active developers to help.

How easy is it to read and understand the existing
code so that a newbie can get involved? Where does one
start from?

Thanks and Best Regards,
solomon.
