no one cares about Subsurface-mobile. No bug reports, no code, no
suggestions, nothing. So I guess we should call this a failed
attempt and abandon it - screw the 500 or so people who use it. <br>

Definately not! I think Björn put it best. The App does what it
should do and is perfectly fine. No need to pack in millions of
additional features, that's not what the app is for. It's just for
taking your logbook along on your mobile device in case you want to
look something up or add an occasional information or dive when your
normal computer is not at hand.<br>
I always do all my editing on my normal computer and wouldn't want
to do that on a tiny screen. Then I put it on my mobile devices to
have it in my pocket. And I flick through the log often...<br>
The app is fine! No suggestions / no code means: its good the way it
is. I sent a few bug reports, but that was all small stuff and
didn't stop me from using it.<br>
<br>
<blockquote cite="mid:574D44F4.2010404@divelogs.de" type="cite"> In
summary, this project is pretty much dead. I guess it does
everything the formerly active developers wanted? Or everyone has
moved on to more fun things? Or had children, changed jobs, built
a house, lost their job, or one of a number of other life events?
<br>

<br>
It's not dead, its near complete and works as it was intended to.
That's a huge difference.<br>
<br>
<blockquote cite="mid:574D44F4.2010404@divelogs.de" type="cite"> So
what should we be working on...? Should we... <br>
<br>
(1) just shut this down and move on? <br>
(2) move things to maintenance mode, abandon Subsurface-mobile,
fix bugs in Subsurface whenever we find time but otherwise declare
victory? It won't be too painful to track libdicecomputer and keep
making 4.5.x releases for a while, I guess... <br>
(3) focus on Subsurface-mobile, release the iOS version, update
the Android version and see if there is a single person besides me
who is willing to invest time into that? <br>
(4) focus on Subsurface 4.6, fix the dive site management and
create a list of prioritized features that we want to get in
place? <br>
(5) focus on Subsurface 5.0, write a completely new UI and abandon
what we have in 4.5? <br>
<br>
If your vote is for 3, 4, or 5 I assume that you are volunteering
to carry some of the work that is needed to get there. <br>
If you don't vote, I will count that as a vote for 1. <br>

<br>
That's an unfair choice. If I could contribute in terms of coding, I
would, but lacking knowledge of C++, QT, Kirigami etc and a too much
real-world-stuff are preventing me of adding these skills to my
repertoire.<br>
<br>
Don't abandon the mobile version. Get the small glitches addressed
when they show up, but then release it, leave it as it is and enjoy
it! Work can sometimes actually be finished ;-)<br>
<br>
Just my 2 cents, I truly admire the energy you put into subsurface
and the mobile version! Thanks for that!<br>
