Ask HN: MobileOrg seems to be dead. Why is that and how to possibly revive it

MobileOrg is Emacs org mode for mobile. Both MobileOrg applications for Android https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android and for iOS https://github.com/mobileorg/mobileorg seem to be quite inactive for a long time(approximately two years counting latest releases and the majority of issues/PR). I can't even build MobileOrg for Android now because apparently the Gradle version used was way too old and not supported in the current Android Studio, and making changes is tricky. It seems barely credible given how superior org mode is compared with other note-taking solutions out there. Why the lack of interest in these projects? Could it be said that the mobile app community has less of an open-source spirit than other communities? Or do people just generally consider other alternatives to note-taking on mobile more convenient than org mode

now? I would like to unify my note-taking experience across all platforms with org mode. But while I can contribute a few pull requests, just by myself I can hardly see enough time/energy to implement all the necessary revamps on the MobileOrg project. If one would like to try to revive a seemingly interesting project and call attention to it, what would be a common way to do it.

Well, what's great about WebDav and org-mode is that there's http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/ which is open-source and works with my org files. The problem with Gina's solution and any other solution is that the code is proprietary. I don't know what the data-format is used (sounds like it's just text, which is good) but I like that org is all text based. Gina's solution also doesn't include highly customizable remember-mode templates (I have quite a few of my own elisp extensions to remember-mode). Another thing that I can do right in emacs with org-mode: Spaced Repetition. Every day I run a spaced repetition routine using org-drill that runs through thousands of vocabulary words I've collected over time that I didn't know at that time (a remember-mode template, of course); I have org-drill cards for math, logic, science, &c... Anything factu

al that I want to remember I keep in org-drill and run through it every morning. I also customized the org-drill system: http://ixmat.us/articles/2012-12-01_usable-org-drill.html [EDIT] Here's the port of mobileorg from iphone to android: https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android
In SalesForce.com acquires Clipboard, plans to shut it down.
There's https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/wiki/, which is fairly decent. It's still very rough around the edges, and nowhere near the quality of the iPhone MobileOrg, but it's a decent enough start - sticking the orgs in Dropbox keeps everything in sync :). But yeah, I basically came to the same conclusion (there wasn't a usable solution), and switched to Astrid on the Android tied to Producteev (as it had a plugin for that off the bat) - I put immediate things to remember into there, and most of my notes and other organisational stuff stays in org-mode. When the Android MobileOrg improves, I'll probably use that full time.
In Workflowy is to TODO as git is to svn
