Hi.
I'd like to say hi to all on this list, if it's ok, and offer to do
some work on the project. If the project is still alive? I've cloned the
repos mentioned on https://gnu.io/fm/developers/, are they up to date? I
get a fair load of PHP messages(strict, undefined index, etc..) using
that code on my test server, I make them go away as I find them. I also
found a page saying that the database had crashed, though I can't find
my way back to it now.
I've been working as a web developer now for 6+ years, doing the
pretty much usual things: PHP, SQL, HTML, CSS, Javascript. So I'd like
to hope I have the skill set to be here :). If I'm not alone here(?)
I'll create a pull request after testing all parts of the system.

Hi Torbjörn,
Firstly, a disclaimer, I am neither a contributor to Libre.fm or even
that familiar with the specific development practices of the project.
So everything that follows is just my own personal advice / thoughts.
Looking over the project repository, it certainly seems to be
maintained, with the last commit from Matt Lee being around 17 days
ago. I've seen Matt across Reddit and a handful of other places
advocating the project, so I'm inclined to say, yes, development is
still active and alive. :)
https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-fm
I tried looking for contributing guidelines on the repository, but
ultimately, it came up pretty dry for me. More often than not, though,
I see people who wonder if they have the skills to contribute, usually
do. :) I would say your best bet is to follow all existing styling /
formatting in the project thus far, work on your improvements, and
submit them as pull requests after you've tested them.
As a user and supporter of GNU FM / LibreFM, I hope to see your
contributions and improvements get into the project soon. Hopefully
there will be some others who might be able to chime in too with some
more advice, from those working in the project.
