[Gaim-devel] GAIM in Fifth Toe

[Will L. <wi...@la...>]

Hello all,

My apologies for the delay in  contacting the gaim team. For some reason
gaim completely slipped my mind when i was talking to people for
inclusion in the release.

I'm rolling up packages to be put into the GNOME Fifth Toe release. I am
curious as to whether or not gaim would like to be a part of Fifth Toe.
Fifth Toe is a collection of cool and "must-have" applications written
using gtk/gnome that are stable and follow the HIG  etc etc.  Gaim falls
into these categories and I think would be a valuable addition to Fifth
Toe.

The two questions that come up would be a) do you want to,  and b) When
do you plan to have a GTK2 release?  I know that you may not have a
solid date in mind and that's fine. I will not release CVS snapshots but
that is not a limiting factor in terms of what can be in Fifth Toe. You
can be listed on the website etc etc,  and just miss out on this release
if need be.  The main part is that it depends on your timetable.

I stopped by IRC and was prompted to mail the list and Rob. Soo there ya
have it.

Thanks guys for the great work you've done with gaim. You definately
have a pleased user here.

Sincerely,
Will LaShell

I think a) is reasonable, and I can't speculate on b).

I talked to you on IRC (Paco-Paco). :-)

Hi, Will.  I remember reading about Fifth Toe on gnomedesktop.org.    
The link is http://5toe.lyrical.net/ for anyone on the list who isn't 
familiar with it.                                                     
                                                                      
> The two questions that come up would be a) do you want to,  and b)  
When

I doubt anyone would have a problem with being included in Fifth Toe, 
and of course you have the GPL-given right to freely distribute, but  
as you want some sort of "official" word, Rob's the guy to ask.       
                                                                      
I can provide you (and the rest of the list) with a rough estimate on 
the date.  We're pretty much just waiting on my new buddy list to be  
finished.  Once that's finished, it's mostly just fixing bugs and     
finishing up a few odds and ends.  Of course, I'm really, really slow 
;).  Rob and I were originally shooting for a late February release,  
but we'll probably need to change it to an early March release.  But  
of course, nothing's set in stone.                                    
                                                                      
-s.
