Dear Andres
Thank you for your review and thoughts about the plugin. I am hopeful that Bob and Stelian have made some significant improvements to the accuracy. Sean wrote this plugin more than 10 years ago, and it has had some improvements and updates for accuracy by some dedicated programmers over the years. Admittedly Sean D. is a prolific and smart programmer and mathematician, but he does shortcuts and sometimes it is hard to follow his code. We at OpenCPN have benefited from much of his work on various key plugins. OpenCPN is one of them.
I am not willing to kill off the plugin, but I am not really a C++ programmer, so I have to rely on others who are more skilled. I can devote time and effort to the manual, and build and deployment, and perhaps focusing the programming efforts.
Would you be able to help us in the longer term programming effort for "modules"?
