[gchartman-devel] Re [7]: Todo

[<chr...@is...>]

Sorry for the delay, there seem to have been some problems with the mailing
list. The geocrawler archives were unaccessible for several days, and the
mailing list didn't work.

Easy to implement. Could be good as an intermediate solution to the
streaming data problem...

Mostly I end up doing heavy modifications, but I never reached the point where
it would have been easier to rewrite. Anyway, since gChartman is my first
non-trivial program for quite some time we'll have to see how it works out.

That's fine, because I still have quite some work before the program will
be useful again. Btw, I'm now using libxml2-2.2.5, which gives me less
headaches than 1.8.x. They also say that no new software should be developed
against the 1.8.x versions.

Ok, that's it for now,

have a nice vacation!
