Hi Ian, I don’t know whether I can take the lead (I’m starting into a new job next month), but going by our list of tasks, we should take this chance.
For our list of successes since last year (alphabetically): - WoT 19 released - Sone released - new website works - Having a structure in which we can organize our materials and a clear 4-weeks timeframe for the fundraising should also help. The next step in my plan is to get the windows installer work by Steve released. Then comes the switch to gradle and with that we’re finally back on track to release contributions quickly.
