Looking at https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/feedback.html#feedback-features suggests that you should try to design whatever features you require yourself in the first instance, and then submit it for consideration by the maintainers. And be prepared to implement it if required before submission to the project. I don't mean that you personally should do this, but rather that you should hire someone suitably qualified to do it. Specifically someone who is not part of the team, unless they volunteer. It sounds like their problem is lack of available effort. > Regards, > Thierry
