Infrastructure can mean a lot of things, but here are the infrastructure things that I could consider beneficial to work on:
-- better integration between lobbies and autohosts, for example adding map boxes with gui. it's totally doable, just need to agree on some standard to use
-- better compatibility between spads and springie would be beneficial so that the community doesnt drift into two camps just based on this standard
-- some kind of automatch system, like the one used in company of heroes for instance

I think autohosts are still too difficult to use, that's what's holding back a lot of newbies imo...

- refactor/improve lobby server code

This has some bugs, perhaps just old dependencies that are referred to, and could use more documentation, because it's really not easy to setup in case you need it /for instance if you have an off-line lan party). The old lobby server has great documentation.

such information is not useful, its just demotivating. either help or STFU.

The original thread is a call for help, not for blaming!
