RE: Time to get involved...

[Jim K. <jim...@ja...>]

G'Day Chris,

We're very glad to have you on-board the OpenG Toolkit developer team.  I've
just signed you up for the opengtoolkit developers mailing list.  Regarding
the addition of more Boolean controls to the "buttons" package.  I think
that this is a GREAT idea.  Personally, I have a lot of cool buttons that
I've been meaning to add (I've "been inspired by" a lot the FireFox
buttons), so this will be a great opportunity for me to get off my butt,
too.  I recall Mike Ashe mentioning to me a while back that he had lots of
buttons that he wanted to add -- I'll ping him and see if we can merge his
into our collection.

1st step: sign up for a sourceforge.net account and send me an email with
your username.  Please also sign up for a skype account (www.skype.com) and
send me you username -- the team uses skype for IM and voice chat.

2nd step: once I add you to the opengtoolkit project at sourceforge.net you
will need to checkout a developers copy of the "buttons" CVS module.  I'll
provide you with instructions once I add you to the project.

3rd step: in order to edit the "buttons" CVS module you will need a few
pointers on how deal with the palette menus (with respect to the MNU files
in the CVS module).  For starters, please read the attached document
("Palette Menu Editing Process.txt").  This explains some of the pitfalls
and idiosyncrasies of MNU/palette editing.

Again, welcome to the team :-)

Cheers,

-Jim
