[java-gnome-hackers] TODO list?

[Mark H. <mh...@ti...>]

Hi,
  I've now finally finished uni so hopefully have more time to work on
my projects. For the next 2 weeks, I will certainly be working on them
publicly. I will then have a week off followed by a move to Bristol. If
all goes well, I will then continue my work; if it doesn't, I may have
no internet access.

A couple of months ago, I sent an email asking for 0.8 release. This was
followed by a call for 0.8 release critical issues (with no response)
and little action (as far as I can see). I'd once again like to stress
that I think a release would be a major boost for the project but also
ask: what still needs to be done?

I plan to work on fixing gnome druids soon and any other bugs I find -
Having other people write applications and so find bugs would be useful;
I fear they are unwilling to do this as no releases have been made. 

I may also look into drag and drop features of treeviews. Is there
anything else I should be looking at.

I am quite interested in having my application support other gnome
libraries such as gconf and possibly bonobo. Are there any plans for
these? Can they be included with the main java-gnome source, or should
we split off subprojects for them? libvte seems to have beein included
with everything else. IMHO, not having separate sub-projects might make
this project too large to handle well.

In case anyone's interested, my java-gnome application, bugwatcher, is
now a substantial program. It now works reliably and is hopefully proof
that java-gnome is very useful in it's current state. I am continuing
work on this at present and will soon start converting an older program
to java-gnome.
