Looking for Windows developers

Gammu and Wammu for Windows start to really lack behind their other OS variants. If you are able to help, please contact us on mailing list or privately.

This has been already announced almost year ago, but the situation is still getting worse for Windows builds. This is especially true for Wammu, where bug#1086 has hit quite a lot of users and we're unable to do something about that right now.

So if you're willing to help, you're welcome.
