Now what can we (as developers) expect for the general direction here on in?
Is their any apps on the TODO list that people can help out with, or create? Evas and EDJE seem mature enough to create apps, Ewl could use some work, but is coming along nicely. When is the freeze expected to be over, what are the plans for after the freeze...? > The Path to Enlightenment II > ---------------------------- > Well, it hasn't been long since the last summary, but I want to mention > a few projects and given that a bunch of stuff has been happening, I > figured it was time to do a second summary. > > > EET API Breakage > ---------------- > There was a minor change to the EET API. EET_FILE_MODE_RW changed to > EET_FILE_MODE_READ_WRITE, for consistency. This will break any apps > using the old name. (All the apps in CVS should be updated).

There is a Debian repository available, > information is here: > http://shadoi.soulmachine.net/2004/11/enlightenment-for-needy.html and > to be nice to Shadoi and his bandwidth, > http://shadoi.soulmachine.net/2005/02/mirrors.html > > > Ecore_Evas > ---------- > If you want to use Evas in your app, the easiest way to get everything > setup correctly is to use the Ecore_Evas module. This will handle all > the grunt work of setting up the Evas, and makes everything copacetic. > If you want more information on using Ecore_Evas take a look at the EFL > Cookbook in the documentation section of the website. > > > Packaging > --------- > Raster has been pushing the libs toward an automated packaging system > invoked through the Makefiles, which has raised a bit of contention, and > also raised the issue that we could use a Release Manager.
