Because of encryption export laws, the feature to do encryption on org files has been *removed* until I can get the application registered with the government, don't update if you utilize this feature. There is also a warning about this removal in the description of the application. ** Github The official github repository has been moved to https://github.com/ksexton/mobileorg. ** Wiki Atlassian has granted an open-source license for the use of their Confluence wiki software. See below for questions on what the community would like for application documentation. * Road-map Some things that are on the road-map that I would like input from the community on. It's probably best to continue discussion on the org-mobile list to prevent spamming people not interested. ** Documentation for MobileOrg Confluence is an easy to use wiki system that we have been granted an open-source license for, but users may prefer something based on Worg for maintaining information. Any preference which direction I should build the website? ** Future development What are everyone's thoughts on the current status of MobileOrg development? The Dropbox API currently in use is set to be deprecated, which means that portion will have to be rewritten. Does anyone have experience with development kits like Titanium Appcelerator or PhoneGap? Would moving to something like one of those projects help new developers get involved in the project or hinder? ** Sync methods For awhile now I've toyed with the idea of being able to use IMAP as a storage backend for notes instead of mail as it is traditionally used. That could get us the benefit of easy self hosting, as well as push/pull from a well documented standard. Each org note could be a separate IMAP folder, and changes could just be new emails. ** Features What features would everyone like to see added to the MobileOrg application? Some of the things I would like to see are: - UI updates to streamline information viewing and capture - Ability to capture photos and transfer them in the sync process - Siri integration (may not be possible or kludgy) - Calendar integration Thanks for taking the time to read. I appreciate this community and the awesomeness that is org-mode. :) -- Kyle Sexton
