I would be willing to be part of a "group".  I consider myself a  filemaker expert, that knows something about Applescript and lots of  other stuff ;-)

I have used eMa forever.  I want to keep using it.  I would be  willing to work, especially on the FileMaker part.

I am an FSA member and have access to FMPA so I could create runtimes.

Thanks. 

I have no idea how to share development of anything. Do you? The idea of making it Open Source sounds good to me, for I have downloaded several files developed this way. But I have not been involved at all on the development end of things.

Simply making it effectively Free Domain is another way, so that everyone who wants to can just modify it and then distribute that on their own. But this certainly sounds awful for the user to keep track of. Open Source seems best.

I myself do not have time to moderate or manage such a group, so I need volunteers for that. I would be available to ask questions of, and I would be following it’s progress and downloading new versions. 

I am mostly thinking about the users here, because of my recent lack of time to get releases done. I don’t want to make it harder for them. 

So, if some developers want to get together about it and come up with a single plan to go forward with, that would be good. This group would probably be a good place to get discussions started.

I have LOTs of mail going back for over a decade.
