Probably. The number of new features I add depends on how much motivation I have and how much time I can dedicate to working on it.
I'll add it to the to-do list, but there are no guarantees that it will be near the top. I have a few items I want to get done first, then I'll consider everything else.

I just noticed, this is my 1000th post on CD.
That is good to hear.
I am not a programmer by trade, but in supporting two teams over the last 7 years, I have done a fair share of the coding. I am more than willing to contribute if you need it. PM me if I can help.

Since I used Java on a my jailbroken iPhone, I should be able to do some rewrites for use on a Netbook; however battery life and internet connections are still a concern.

Jesse,
Wow, excellent feedback and input. I definately se your point.
I have to assume FIRST will not be allowing teams to set up WiFi networks at competitions this year either, so having a local server may not be an option, but that doesn't stop us from using one of the other OPR/DPR apps that are already out there in conjunction with the Droid apps. like FRC Spyder. Now I'm certain some bright soal will find a way to have the OPR/DPR running on a server and then making the result available via a Droid app. in no time.
