For now it seems that Cabrillo and ADIF export support will be enough of a challenge. Not to stray too far off topic, a separate tool that can work from ADIF and convert it to the XML container and vice versa should be a target project so that older programs that support ADIF only don't need to be patched. > I can almost promise you that I will not produce anything meaningful on > these projects by field day.
