cloud goes social

Hi all uMonitor users/wannabe developers,
after receiving many feature requests and implementing some of them I noticed that I do not have so much time on my hands to dedicate to uMonitor. It would be selfish and ugly to just keep the product as it is, since it has quite some user base. It is my pleasure, then, to announce that any of you (especially developers), can freely contribute to keep the product up-to-date, improve it, add features, whatnot. At the moment I’m in the process of “properly” migrating the codebase into a more “open source” way (i.e.: add proper headings, some kind of open license, et cetera). Anyway, I couldn’t wait any longer and I just uploaded the current code on github.

Anyone is free, of course, as github encourages, to fork the project. Though I would like to still keep a hand on it, and therefore would ask any interested developer to contact me, so that I can just add you to the project and let you “push” (well, git users should understand the terminology!) directly to it.

Again, if any fork is produced, please give it a different name and icon, in case you are releasing the product, so that no confusion will be made by end-users. I trust your responsibility, developers.

With this move, also, developers who don’t own an hacked iPhone can freely install and use the product.

I hope that this move is well received by the community.

I will wait to hear from anyone interested.
