[DXLog.net - Support] DXLog.net development status and plans

[John Warburton G4IRN]

This is great news and a very smart move.

Personally I am looking forward to using DXLog on a Ubuntu platform. I 
can't wait to get rid of windows for contest logging - those automatic 
updates in W10 are a pain and older versions of Windows are slow by 
modern standards, especially on older hardware. Furthermore, the 
performance will be much better without the .net platform, so a double 
bonus!

Just one request - is it possible to use a more simple language for the 
scripts? C# isn't so easy for most people; I have a degree in Computer 
Science and still don't entirely understand it!

I've been very busy with work recently but as always, I'll be happy to 
test v3 when it's released.
