I'm absolutely amazed - this is really an exciting turn in the mlview development, which in the beginning will give a lot of pioneer atmosphere but will bear loads of thrilling chances to the project. Having worked with both libxml2 and libxml++2.6 (and glib2.0 and glibmm2.4), I found the C++ development easier and more straight-forward due to the incredible efforts of all the people involved in those projects, probably most notably Murray Cumming. I'm still quite busy, but having said this, I guess it's more likely I'll get involved into mlview, maybe adding tiny tweaks to it. Rejoice everyone! Have a nice day, Daniel PS: When will you switch to baz instead of tla? :-) _______________________________________________ Mlview-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mlview-list
