I think it is less about being willing doing it, but being able doing it in 
way that is creating the best value for everyone. I'd be willing, but I 
don't have the resources to push myself on a python level, that would be 
sufficient to achieve this, apart from barely finding time for the 
Bootstrap skin. Rainer probably is probably more than enough challenged 
with his FOSHKplugin. But he and "Gyvate" have excellent connections to the 
manufacturer, who has proved several times that they are willing to 
communicate and support the community with information and fixes needed to 
provide solutions like a driver for a software like WeeWX. Maybe we find a 
way to bundle our individual strengths and develop the driver to the next 
level?

AFAIK there are two main challenges Gary faced recently:

- keeping up with Ecowitt's development
- introducing backfill which in theory is possible with the newest console 
that provide access not only to the local API, but to the SD-storage via 
the local API, like the GW3000
