Problem

We've neglected this project a little bit. Apologies.

Cause

Background: I moved into another project within Teamwork which hasn't any desktop apps and the Teamwork Chat team (@4ver, etc.) have had a lot on their plate.

Solution

We're going to fix this. We're going to allocate dev time each month or something like that to keep a better eye on the project.

We need your help

It's also really important that we get some outside contributors as well though. So if anyone can help out in these areas, it would be much appreciated:

• Improving documentation.
• Troubleshoot, triage, and reproduce issues on your machine.
• Fix bugs.
• General maintenance (dependencies, etc).
• Suggest & add features.
• Review, test, and merge pull-requests from other contributors.
• Anything else you can think of which would help.

Feel free to go ahead and do any of those or write to us (in an issue, email, etc.) if you like.

Ideas / Improvements

These are some possible improvements that come to mind right now:

• Convert codebase from CoffeeScript to plain JavaScript to make it easier for people to contribute.
• Add example (e.g. Electron, NW.js) projects to make it clearer how to use this module. This is also useful for manually testing the module during development.
• List the maintainers in the README.
• Label issues as good first issue and help wanted.
• Etc.

Hi. Auto-launch is a very usefull module, but it needs love under Linux. I see a few issues related to Linux where proposed solutions are still pending or halfway-pulled in, but not completely fixed. I'd like to join in to help with them.
