At present, I believe nobody has actually seen any code for that project.
Also, Google recently added better mobile support for Go that did not exist
when they started that project : https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/mobile/app
I currently hope TheGrugq or whoever actually releases the code at 31c3, so
that *I* don’t feel the need to do any GUI work. If that doesn’t happen then
we should start a public project that takes advantage of Google’s tools to
avoid rewriting Pond’s client layer.
I would envision using the existing Pond client code in Go and writing a thin
Android wrapper layer in Scala (but vanilla XML produced by Android Studio, not
Scaloid). I haven’t done *anything* on this so far except for studying
existing work on running Scala and Go together, a bit of modularization of the
Go code that was needed for other purposes, and working out that certain
Android tools like data providers are a poor fit for Pond. I know Pond's Go
code fairly well from doing other stuff with it though, so it’s doable.
Anyway let’s hope that TheGrugq solves this first. :)
Jeff
