Thosee who've been around a little longer have seen me go on these rants when I get frustrated. Yes, I do not like the fact that there are very few contributions to the mobile app. And I believe (as Robert said) that the learning curve is WAY, WAY WAY too steep. That's why I spent two thirds of my free time today trying tto make it easier for people to get started with the Android app (as far as development goes). I cannot do this by myself, but I will certainly keep trying. And ranting about things in the meantime :-/ So as for priorities... start with the FAQ? Then Video + QuickStart. And then the mobile app, hoping that by then we have a new version out that actually works... Thanks for volunteering to help! /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
