Re: [java-gnome-hackers] Tell me what needs to be done

Hi Pathan, 

Welcome to the team!

I'm sure your work will be most valuable. If you have any questions at
all at any time, please don't hesitate to ask.

We do have a deadline soon - API freeze for the next 6 months, following
the gnome bindings release schedule. 

If you join the commits list, you will see that Jeff is doing most of
the work at the moment - an excellent job keeping the project alive for
this release. I'm trying but am too bogged down with real life work
(uni) at the moment. 

The best place for you to start is to get the latest cvs code compiled
on your system if you haven't already. This requires latest experimental
gnome libraries,  so takes a long time. Please let us know if you need
help with this or with cvs. 

After that, either you can help check/design api for the release on
Monday (see gtk/TODO.gtk) or you can work at implementing some of the
glue and jni code for new methods which only have API at the moment
(grep -i TODO). 

After the release there will be lots of other things to do - including
patching a few memory leaks and fixing performance of glib.CustomEvents.
More about that later though.

Thanks for joining the team. Hope you enjoy your time with java-gnome.
