Re: Is it time to create a group managed d-rats.github.com project?

 

HI John,
(reminding that?i am not english-.language native and maybe i could be a bit direct here)
??
I think that this could be a good idea,

in the "group managed github", group is the?key point : i mean the group should be a group of people and someone with really strong programming skills and social skills should lead it.

Looking back at my experience with D-Rats i think that not being a professional programmer (better. not even a programmer at all) I wasn't able to attract the support needed to take D-Rats to overcome the speed needed to cope with the evolution of the undelying?evolutions.

MacOs compatibility was lost on the way, compatibility with python?2 libraries getting loose, linux support?for py2 the same, issues on ms windows performances, maps issues, weather integration, lack of implementation?of the new icom data burst transmission...?

Off course with the help of all (Marius in primis) and really long hours of my time (as not a programmer i need to trial and error a lot of things which just should be straightforward) we skipped to declare d-rats death, but it is a situation which do not permit much evolutions?

Trying?to turn into positive mood,?let me ask to?all people reading this email:
who is in and with committment?

This would be an organization setup:
