"Leaving the project" already happened, so this is me actually thinking of doing a few improvements in the following months. No, i am not looking for someone to take over, one of the goals is that i learn, so i have to / want to be in this. Also, there is no maintenance yet since it is not finished nor ready for release. What i actually need in one word is - mentoring. To tell me if my design/structure/code is wrong and prevent me from burning my time on something that is not worth it. BR, Miroslav.
