I don't think it's a good idea to add old issues to the project board. It will just create a lot of noise. I think the original 20 issues are more than enough to occupy the current dev team for years to come so little point in adding things that no one will have any time to look at unless you're putting yourself forward to go through all those old PRs and test them (eg. the FOV one is from 2015 and the code has changed since then).

I cannot even tell if a merge is reasonable, yet test if all would still work with the merge.
Also I do not want to get everything merged blindly, but I'd like to have an educated response on the PRs, even if we reject them. And I will need help on that.

If it works out, we'd be more managing community-provided PRs that developing our own.

I can't tell either. Some of them seem to have discussions about them already, but then progress stopped. All you could do is invite the original author to bring it up to date.

I agree about responding to new PRs. I commented on this recent PR but the author never responded: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/pull/557

I checked #361 and think it should be closed without merge. Anyone agree?
https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/pull/361

On the other hand, #369 should get a closer look:
https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/pull/369

I guess this is as good a time as any to let you know that I will be taking a break from coding. With 1.92.1 out of the way and the project rolling nicely, this is a good opportunity for me to unplug for a while as I have done already a few times after similar milestones in the past. Not going away, I am still around and can still provide help if there are questions about stuff I am familiar with, but will just be mostly inactive.and follow from a bit further away as time permits. I also won't be reviewing PRs as this is a sure-fire way to not be able to relax.

Keep going strong fellas.

I agree with first and closed it with comment "Agreed, also if we support Mac in future, the XCode project would be generated from Meson or CMake so any settings would go in the corresponding configuration file not directly in XCode."

The second, I don't know as I haven't looked at the js code before.

Enjoy your break!

I had a look at this previously, but can't remember how I left it. I'll have another look shortly.
