My original suggestion was that there should be a mechanism that allowed people who wanted to engage a developer to connect with interested developers. I still think thats not a bad idea and does not go against the spirit of the project. When you have a project where you need help you have no idea who to turn to.
The good news (for me) is that I've made significant progress with the enhancements to State Tags I wanted and know how to get it to work. Maybe I'll learn enough about git to put a PR forward. I still have a lot to learn but it seemed to me there was a lot of redundant code with a massive setup structure in the interpreter that seemed to duplicate a lot of the shared memory variables. Once I finally worked out that the interpreter kept its own copy of state tags, I made some progress pretty quickly but it does not seem an ideal algorithm. I think adding a series of motion.tag.nnn pins that publish all of the available tags would be a useful enhancement and make the State tags actually useful! But I'm still looking for a developer to do the hard stuff!
