If you are, or you know someone who is, an experienced C AND C++ developer, please get in touch with us. There are a great many things we'd like to do with the software and for the community but while we have lots of enthusiasm the one place where we lack a depth is the C/C++ team.
There's likely no money in it but it could be a great reference. You/the developer will receive full public credit and if there ever is capital gained you will share in that.
We probably need 5-6 developers on top of who we have.

what exactly are you doing? a worldgroup port to modern compilers or more along the lines of module development?

5.5 compiles the entire 3.3 system. I've used it for some time.

But, 5.5 is hardly "modern"
Ideally it'd work with gcc since that'd provide better cross-platform support.

yeah but we all had to crawl before we could walk, i mean compared to the bcc 5.01 it was using bcc 5.5 is a big step, look at the doors the newer compiler opened, sqlite,etc.....
gcomm had it all compiling under msvc 4.5 years ago so your next step could be to go gcc so you could utilize other os's or give visual c++ a shot yourself.
i am sure i speak for alot of sysops running heavy usage servers when i say we prefer a unix based system.
one of my mirrors im using to give people access to the wg file directory without logging in runs under slackware and it blows away the synchronet ftp server and worldgroup ftp servers respectively.
i been wanting to give redhat a shot and since my tele-arena standalone compiles for both win32 and unix i will prolyl get around to it one of these days
