Hi Stefan before it gets lost in all the other discussions: I'd still be happy to integrate this. Remarks: * it must be usable for people that have not signed for the 30$ premium account * everything must work from the user interface, command line is not an option * no python dependency

Hi Marcus, I guess with those prerequisites I won't make any geocaching submission soon - while all the features are usable as long as you have obtained a GPX file with all the data, the conversion to an sqlite3 db is done on the CLI with (one call to) bash/python scripts. Looking at gpxview [1],

"Aces" in your sleeve? You mean you're keeping the development process intentionally closed to discourage forkers? What? There's no reason you can't have a public SVN with read only access to everyone except your chosen few. Google code or sourceforge would work fine. Why does all this discussion

Hi Stephen, thanks for your feedback - especially as you are a programmer as you once stated on the openmoko mailing list [1]. On Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:36:38 -0400 Stephen Pape wrote: > but I couldn't find any useful results with Google. Dang! I have exactly the same problem when trying to fi

Okay. I'm not sure what you're getting at, or why you're completely changing the subject to make a personal attack on me over an argument involving software development practices. I haven't been very active with openmoko, so I guess that makes anything I say invalid? And you're the one complaining

Seriously, you know I'm a fan of your software (wrote you a few e-mail IIRC) but lately, in every thread I read, you are scaring away potential contributors and you never really answer the basic questions: 1) why don't you give people feedback on their patches? 2) why don't you use a mailinglist/S
