Bertrand, Thanks for the update. While I haven't claimed my actual committer user, I remained active sometimes by helping others in the mailing list to add their ideas. Some of them if they are happy to contribute really should consider joining, also with code commit rights.
OpenDDR released a 1.16 release also of the resources definition, so except for the C# "balloon" that has not seen much activity over the last months, both device definitions and where necessary the Java API are maintained in almost monthly intervals. Unless we succeed to define a working way of updating these kinds of things here, too, ideally in a semi- or fully automated way, these changes may not always be applicable to DeviceMap, not to mention possible IP or licensing requirements. If other OpenDDR committers here are too busy, I'd be happy to help trying to sync device definitions, but there may be still one or two basic things we should get in place first. Those offering to help may speed things up a bit.
