I realize that VPhot is only for members to use, but is it a closed source project? It appears to be written in asp.net web forms. I've got about 10 years of asp.net development experience. Just curious if there's a group that collaborates on the project and if I could help out? I've noticed there's quite a few features that would be nice for DSLR observers to be able to use it for their photometry that are not there.
Greetings Matthew,
At present I am the only one maintaining the code and environment of VPhot. Ken Menzies acts as manager/tester/trainer for VPhot, but its just me right now pushing code. A couple years ago we tried to build a team and had 5 people involved. But I'm not enough of a manager to orchestrate a team like that and it petered out.
If you are interested then let's start a conversation. Contact me a gsilvis@aavso.org and let's talk code and infrastructure and how you could fit into the process.
And thanks for the offer!
George
