[Feedreader-development] Re:

[Jim M. <ji...@mc...>]

I am now subscribed to the developers list.  Hello all.

I made a few changes already (to the source code snapshot, not the VNC code).

I upgraded to XDOM_2_4 form XDOM_2_3.  This was originally because I could 
not find 2_3, but I later found it.  2_4 seems to work, and it is a bug fix 
on 2_3.  Is there any reason to stay with 2_3?

I fixed the navigation bar (forward and backward buttons).  The navbar does 
disappear when the user comes back from aquarium mode.  I was going to 
address that but I couldn't find the implementation of 
"actAquaraiumViewExecute", which is really puzzling, yet my code compiles. 
. . .

I also modified the main form so that the CoolTrayIcon and EmbededWB are 
created dynamically, thus making it so the project can be opened and edited 
without having those components installed into the IDE.  This is kind of 
just a petpeve since I dislike needing to install so many component when I 
work on a project.

How different is the snapshot from the CVS?  Just trying to decide the best 
way to merge my changes in.  I'll admit that I am a CVS novice (used it a 
little bit, but not in a while. . . .)  But I am sure I can figure it out 
quickly.  I am currently using ClearCase under HPUX (non-Delphi Development).

Is there a project vision?  Are we trying to make it compatible with 
specific favors of Delphi?  What about Kylix support?

Are there plans to add Atom, RSS 2.0 or RDF support?  I have found Delphi 
components for the latter two, but it would probably be an overhaul to 
start using those.

A little about me: I like to program in Delphi.  Been doing it pretty much 
full time for 7 years (since D2).  I spoke at BorCon last year ( 
http://www.bsdg.org/jim/Peer2Peer/Paper/3214.html ) and recently 
contributed an article for BDN ( 
http://bdn.borland.com/article/0,1410,31905,00.html ).  Nothing too 
exciting.  I really like FeedReader and look forward to contributing more.
