Honestly, I don't know exactly what would be involved, I'm not
experienced in mobile and I don't have anywhere near the spare bandwidth
to be anything other than a secondary contributor. I do suspect that a
lot of existing code would be thrown away in a combined approach due to
the massive semantic and structural differences between native code and
HTML/JS/CSS.

I can say for certain that we would have to figure out the handoff of
various credentials from the old maintainers (who I am assuming would
not like to continue being maintainers) for the respective app-stores
and Dropbox tokens.
