I seem to recall that Sketch had some bugs that were highly dependent on the text system.

I think that's because he's updated to the latest GNUstep, and I haven't yet. It should be okay to go into stable now. I've done a lot of bug fixing in the last two days, and more use / testing would be helpful. > 5/ Maintainers and Modules Without Official ones > > - In the middle of Open Bugs topic, we discussed about the need of > new maintainers for modules like Grr, DictionaryReader, Vindaloo, > RSSKit, PDFKit, Addresses etc. It becomes more critical with Günther > departure.

At some point, it might be a good idea to look at RSSKit and see if it should be sharing code (e.g. XML parser) with the Jabber stuff. Not yet though, because I am considering gutting my XML parser and replacing the innards with some Ragel stuff. I'd also like to take a poke at Addresses at some point. It lags a lot, usability-wise, behind its OS X counterpart, and this should be remedied. > Thanks to all and sorry for the moving date of this conference > initially planned on April 8th. > By the way, next conference is not yet planned. I'm in the SILC channel most of the time I'm awake and near a computer, so feel free to poke me there.
