Well, I can say that I have 4+ years of experience with C++, 6+ with C, and have done lots of GUI programming with Java, Tcl/Tk, Qt, and probably some others which don't come to mind right now. I also know a great number of other languages which are irrelevant to this project (I guess I could mention SQL, PHP, Python, shell, awk, sed, whatever...), but I am picking up on GTK+ and also need to get to grips with autoconf, automake, and libtool soon. Here is what I would interested in: - getting the source to build properly and reporting bugs if it doesn't, perhaps I can even learn about autoconf etc... here - attempting minor user interface fixes whenever I think I can do it right (maybe I could start working on some easy-fix low-priority stuff just to get my hands wet with it before I jump right in) ? - checking out intltool compatibility (since the manual does not know whether it is working it seems). - testing, testing, and testing - ah, and I'd really like to test the new "Tree and List Widget" implementation. I've heared it's somewhat complex, and I would like to be there to make sure that it works properly and make suggestions etc... I need to learn about this myself since I plan to use zillions of these in a project of my own, so, I can check it out and see what I can do with it. I don't know whether this sounds reasonable. I also don't know what patch and CVS policies you have. > Glad to see another person interested in helping out. Thanks, as I said I want to try my best, and get started on this ASAP. I think there is quite a lot that I could learn from this experience and I am looking forward to it!!!! :-) Neil _______________________________________________ Glade-devel maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/glade-devel
