I can draw like a 5y/o with the best of them!

I cannot stress enough how much I think we need more people
working on the mobile app. So by all means, PLEASE do that!
Having Sebastian be the single developer (just like Tomaz is
usually the single developer for the desktop UI) is just not a
good way to do this.

I have tried to talk a few other external people into this
(Hi Stephen) and am still hoping that we'll get more people
contributing to Subsurface-mobile this way, but I would like
to really encourage everyone here to please play with the
QML.

And oh btw - you can quite easily test the QML on the desktop.
Simply enable SUBSURFACE_MOBILE in the cmake (easily
done with ccmake ) and you can build subsurface-mobile
on your Linux box (yeah, I know you're usually on Windows, 
Lubomir, but I also know you have a Linux VM somewhere). 
And then you can work on the QML code and test it quite efficiently.
