Jaap,
I understand. Unfortunately I do not qualify for taking the lead. I
could help with testing
and even with packaging if someone instructs me on what to do and how
to do it, but we still need
a volunteer with some knowledge and experience on the MacOS. I'm just
a user, can compile etc, but just
follwing directions.
May be we should put a prominent notice on the web page with the
profiles of the required volunteers
(MacOS packaging, Android version etc)
