[Pythoncard-users] Pythoncard fork: latest post here.

[Nextime <ne...@ne...>]

Hello all.

As a demostration that nothing is moving here, after few posts saying 
"i don't agree with a fork", nothing more on this list or in
developement of PythonCard.

So, with all my thanks for all original developers of pythoncard
for the base code of the new project, i have forked pythoncard.

The new project will be called "Picard", and the developemed will be
completely separated from the one of pythoncard.

Picard is a name dedicated to the Cpt. Picard from StarTrek TNG,
cause of the assonance ( at least in my language ) with "PyCard".

actually i have a pre-release on my svn, at
https://svn.nexlab.it/medianix/packages/main/pythoncard/trunk
whit those changed from the original codebase:

 - Patched with changes from Alex Tweedly for sizers
 - Fixed some bugs in the layoutEditor, first of all 
   now buttons can be dragged also on GTK based platforms, and other
   minor fixes
 - added a new component: CollapsiblePane

The future roadmap, at least for now is (in sparse order):

 - Change the name of the package (this will be the first thing to do!).
 - dropping out codeEditor, resourceEditor, 
   experimentalResourceEditor, oneEditor,
   findfiles, standaloneBuilder
 - make layoutEditor the default (and peraps unique)
   resource file editor
 - Improve layoutEditor in many ways
 - add many other components
 - cleaning the code
 - change resource files to an XML format
 - let's use something like a zip container as
   resource to embed also images and so on
 - make layoutEditor produce also a python class
   to be derived in the main program

Any help and/or contributor will be welcome in the new project,
this will be the last post here from mine about this, any new post about
Picard will be done in the new mailing list on the project trac site,
http://trac.medianix.org/wiki/PyCard (the name will change to Picard
soon)

Franco.
