About me(Wap / Mirravin). I'm not a programmer and don't have C++ knowledge. Yes, LOL. Why in this situation I would like to join your team?
I'm planning to learn C++ if I will get access to Sphere code. Nobody is born with C++ knowlegde.
I'm studiing in Medicine I'm not guilty, that I'm not a programmer.
Yes, in the beggining I will can't fix / override network and other complicate things, but Sphere have some problems, that is fixable by "1 line", for exaple this:

Also, I have personal motivation to useable 0.56b and living shard for real testing. So I won't left you while I'm working on my project(uorpg.net; incomlete English version en.uorpg.net). But I'm working from 2008 and shard is running from 2010(closed test from 2009)(shard is running on Nightlies).
Yes, I'm not the an ideal candidate, but I suggest you to think about this because now you don't have active programmers at all. What is the sense of good programming skills if the man is not active?
Also, I know one man in the Russian community, forestwars.ru admin, who was finding ShiryuX / MrSugarCube to help with Sphere development, but stop this, because couldn't get any answer. I think, he has C++ knowledge, but I don't know details. I will send him a link to this topic.
