Let me hop on the band wagon and introduce myself! I have been using OpenLP for some years as the Worship Director and AV Director at my church. One of the members of the church wrote a Planning Center plugin a year or so ago that has been a MASSIVE benefit to the church. I know that code has been submitted to the project, and I would urge you to add it - without it, I simply could not coordinate the text that my musicians see (Planning Center’s Music Stand) and the text that the congregation sees through OpenLP.
I made a couple minor tweaks to the PlanningCenter Plugin, but otherwise haven’t dug into OpenLP much. Like Ben, I just didn’t have time to learn my way around bzr. I use git in my day job (developer at Dell Computers), and although I haven’t used GitLab, I’m happy to dive into it. I’m primarily a Python programmer, fairly comfortable in Mac, Linux, and Windows environments, very little experience in mobile platforms. I haven’t quite got my feet under me with the OpenLP code base, but as soon as I do, I’d be happy take direction on any undertakings with OpenLP.
