OpenPlotter v2.x.x is coming!!

Hello,

I have some issues with openplotter 2 and touch screen support. There are great chances people want to use it with touch screens and support for that currently is poor.

1. Default installation needs to include virtual on screen keyboard with an icon on the taskbar. It think matchbox-keyboard will do
2. OpenCPN by default needs to start as maximized window (not just like regular window and not full screen either). If you start full screen you can't get to keyboard icon on a touch screen.
  There is a way of doing it with lxde
  in rc.xml under ~/.config/openbox/
  have a section

Code:

<application type="normal">
<maximized>true</maximized>
</application>

3. I think all major openCPN plugins should be included by default just not activated
4. There should be an option to download ALL available free US ENC charts and all other free world charts with 1-2 clicks. I've found openseamap charts also somewhat useful. They show landmarks (they are nice to have too)
5. OpenCPN should be autostarted
6. OpenGL and touch screen support should be enabled by default in OpenCPN
7. Only once instance of OpenCPN should be allowed running at a time 

Is it possible to automate openplotter NOOB creation and have nightly builds of it?

Thanks,
