We are talking about interfacing to org-mode, an Emacs mode: I don't think that the target audience is one which excessively values platform-specific look-and-feel and has an insurmountable aversion to idiosyncratic interfaces :-) > There's tons of options for possible paths here Do you have a decent resource for seeking them out?

Yes, I almost mentioned Mocl along with Kivy, but two things stopped me: + Mocl is not free, which will not help increase the number of contributors, + I get the feeling that the average org-mode user is even less Lispy than your average Emacs user, Elisp notwithstanding. >>> Unfortunately, due to other existing commitments, i wouldn't be able >>> to take point on such a reboot. >> >> The dreamer in me thinks this might be the itch-to-scratch that finally >> motivates me to getting to grips with Kivy; the realist in me is pretty >> certain that I fall into the same category as you. > > Realistically this is the issue in most cases, plenty of well meaning > help but not a lot of time to do anything. Life gets in the way. For me, after life getting in the way, by far the biggest barrier to contribution is the platform-specificity of the projects: I simply can't be bothered to even think about contributing to something which only be useful to "half" the potential users.
