Hi Rob and Randy,

 

>From the changelog (https://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/log/),

there is certainly a little bit of work going on in Dia:

It looks like there is also a 0.97.3, though it is not prominent

on any of the web pages:

 

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/dia/0.97/dia-0.97.3.changes

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/dia/0.97/

 

(I have not used it myself.)

 

Rob, what kinds of extensions have you built?  Can you share the

source code and/or contribute to the project?

 

I would love to see a more active Dia development community, even

though it is a very stable piece of software.  But since I'm not

likely to have time to contribute code or documentation or etc any

time soon, I would argue that me asking "are you people still

working on Dia?" isn't an entirely fair question.

 

To me a fair question would be more like "Is there something I can

do to contribute?" or "hey I've got this great idea, here's a patch

/ some documentation / a plugin / etc" or maybe even "can I fund

the development of feature XYZ?".

 

Don't get me wrong, I know what it's like to be a downstream

developer and user and to feel forgotten.  When a commercial

software provider slows down work on a product, there's not much

you can do; whereas there *are* things you can do to help revitalize

a free software project.

 

Philosophy aside, Dia looks to me to be evolving -- albeit slowly,

since it is a mature and very stable piece of software.

 

$0.02,

 

Johann

It's a perfectly fair question.

I would also like to know if there are any plans for future versions of Dia?
I am using it for a research project now and have developed some python
extensions. Is there any plan, for example, to support later versions of
python?

And who are you to make such statements?
