Link:EVEMON

After 3 years continuous involvement with EVEMon and 1 1/2 years as acting Lead Dev, RL issues are forcing me to take a break and suspend my activity with EVE and EVEMon.

My absence is estimated to last for at least a month with the possibility of it lasting more than that or even being permanent.

If noone hears from me for more than a month, you can safely assume that I'm off for good, though I hope that the forum support will be continued by our volunteers.
In that case, I authorize the BC admins to initiate the procedures for my succession.
In the mean time, if anything urgent comes up (like CCP changing things) and EVEMon needs updating, I hope that the former Lead Dev, Richard Slater (who still has access rights to the repo), will step in and make the necessary adjustments.

Notes to the repo (for the next Lead Dev, if be):
The 1.8.0 branch has no new features added, though I intended to add Calendar Events, Contacts and Kill Reports monitoring. The base code is there but EVEMon lacks the GUI.

For any questions, I will be available to answer you till Saturday 01 Sept 2012 00:00 UTC.

In case I don't see you again, thanks for all the good and bad times. It was a 'hell of a ride' as long as it lasted.

Regards,
Jimi

Great timing with the guy behind EveHQ taking a leave as well. While the EveHQ guy claims that there's someone picking up his work (fingers crossed, but there's rumours of a few bits of spaghetti code in EveHQ...), I wouldn't be surprised if it still dies. Now without that and without EveMon, I'd hate to even think of what that would mean... *sigh*.

I'm sure someone will pick EVEMon up. A game full of computer geeks is bound to have someone else with spare time and knowledge willing to do it.

[Larg Kellein]

Bah, and just as I have something resembling training plans for my major characters as well... Gits.

Unless CCP significantly alters the API or some major skill set the current version should continue to work. So...uh...we might be lucky to make it 12 hours I guess...

Carver, you're killing me with your tiny font. Oh and it would suck if we lost EveHQ and EVEMon. They're very important to the overall enjoyment and success of the game, methinks.

It means they are joining forces and we will have to pay isk for the new EVEHQMON thingie.

Not that I think many of the agony crowd will be apple fanbois but for simple noodling on skill plans there is dusk for the iPhone .... Let's you monitor training, do rudimentary skill planning and then export it to evemon/email it ...or there is the more complete NeoCom for iPad that lets you muck around with ship fittings browse the market and check sell orders etc. On the upside by winter there should be the option of in-game changes being made from OOG devices ( training change from smartphones ... Trades and buy sell ) as the api open up starts to come on line.

If it all falls in a heap I really don't see why CCP couldn't take this up...

[Yttriun]

I'm with Zee, if Battle clinic doesn't drive it on surely CCP can see the value.

You think so??
After all, we ARE talking about CCP...
