[racket] problems running moby from source

Hi Danny, hi all,

sorry for possibly being too impatient - but could anyone just tell me if Moby for Android is being further maintained/developed and what the current state would be?
The thing is, I got so much involved in thinking about developing something for Android now, I could also imagine helping develop the Android interface code further (like e.g. for the "location" stuff I mentioned) if that was welcome :-)

Ciao,
Sigrid

> But  you know, the reason I wanted to look into the source was that as a new and proud I-never-thought-I'd-buy-something-like-that-in-my-life owner of an Android smartphone, I wanted to look into how Moby interfaces with Android and what one could do using racket to create an Android app.
