[Ovmsdev] VW e-Up project

Wed Mar 18 19:39:15 HKT 2020

Chris,

I'll merge the Android PR this evening, probably also directly publish a new App version for this.

Create pull requests whenever you think it's appropriate. Good practice is creating PRs on bug fixes and on completed feature units or important changes. We
announce new major releases on this list, asking for any open developments that should be included.

The whole documentation is part of the git repository so can be changed by you as well. The intro page is created from the top level "README.md" file.

Regards,
Michael
