We use the gnomecc list (copied) for gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center development, or you can find us on #control-center on GIMPNet IRC. > It's really convenient to be able to write plugins in Vala; it requires > subclassing a GObject class which is very nontrivial in C but very easy in > Vala. > For now, I've only added an empty dummy plugin, but I'd like to use it later. > > This requires an extra dependency on valac, but only at distribution > time; I believe > that automake's support for vala actually includes the intermediate C > files in the > tarball, so the user doesn't need the vala compiler. > > The branch can be found at [1]. Is there any particular reason why you want to develop plugins in vala? gnome-settings-daemon is not a general-purpose application, and I do not know of any third-party plugins to it (meaning that all the plugins live in gnome-settings-daemon and that, as maintainers, we would prefer seeing plugins written in C). > I'm no autotools or vala wizard, so I will really appreciate any your > feedback you > may have. So, do you have a particular reason why you would want to write a new plugin in Vala?
