Hi everyone! Sorry, I forgot about last week's "Ask me anything" session, so let's use this post as usual: you reply with questions and I'll answer them.

Moreover, I would like to give you some news about the project roadmap. I did not forgot to release a stable version, actually 1.13.3 is expected by the end of the year. In the meantime I've been focusing mostly on technical improvements, refactoring and code cleanup. For example I made dependency injection and gradle scripts much more maintainable, and I've been fixing a couple of issues that you reported.

Once I'm done with some more bugs (e.g. the ones concerning images) I'll be releasing, so don't worry. If some of you are willing to test the beta releases, you are more than welcome, thanks.

Hi everyone, first Wednesday of month so it's "Ask Me Anything" time. As usual, post your questions in reply to this post and I'll do my best to answer.

Forever L.F.E.T. 🦝🦝🦝

Welcome to the third session! For the rest of my day, I’ll be looking for replies to this thread and will answer your questions. If something remains unanswered, replies can be posted even during the following days.

There are no rules - “anything” is anything! Feel free to ask development questions, future plans, or things completely unrelated to Raccoon.

Just like the first time, there are no rules - “anything” is anything! Feel free to ask development questions, future plans, or things completely unrelated to Raccoon.

Most importantly, have fun!

There are no rules, "anything" is anything! Use a grain of salt and a little bit of irony, though. Also, I would really like to hear something in your native language on your first comment: it can be a greeting, the question itself, a joke, an insult or anything crosses your mind in that moment. Have fun!

The last message before closing the old community stated that, after a break, it would be decided whether to restart from an existing fork or to recreate a repository in an anonymous account. We have decided to do both things, taking the most active fork (which was updated to the latest commit), transferring it to a neutral organization and using that as a starting point.

The biggest limit of the previous approach, as emerged on August 1st, was that even if the app was presented as a “community project”, its ownership and all the decision making process (as well as the majority of the development heavy-lifting) was concentrated in the hands of a single person, which could take questionable decisions due to personal contingencies. Being a human and having a single point of view, errors can be made and reactions can be disproportionate with respect to their causes.

In order to prevent this from happening again, the new organization will have a more open, transparent and community-drive
