Hi, I believe that while you, Triode, John and any others I'm not aware of are massively talented at doing what you do, you just don't have the kind of technically able community here that you do the other forum, blocking you from going forward by having to hold people like me (relative Linux newbies) by the hand. Example in case: this morning for some obscure reason LMS doesn't start anymore. I did some searching, couldn't find anything, am now reimaging my SD card. If I'd not been aware you're going through all kinds of stuff at the moment with the repo, I'd have been here to ask support, making you loose valuable time, and I guess I'm far from the only one. Maybe it's time to get this project up on the other forum as well?
