Dictionary sources selection ideas
Hi all, I'm looking for ideas for implementing source and database selection in GNOME Dictionary. Just a bit of background: Dictionary manages sources, which are basically DICT servers, that provide one or more database, which are the dictionaries properly. Therefore, for performing a search in a dictionary, the user shall select both a source and a database within that source. I think this setting must be available next to the search bar. My first attempt was to show a popover in the primary button of the text entry (see attached screenshot). However, this approach would make the user unaware of what dictionary is she searching in. So now I think a menu button would fit better, as we can show as text the name of the source and dictionary currently selected. What do you think? Also, my approach would include, in both the menu button and the entry button cases, a menu model representing the sources-databases tree. Is this a correct use of GMenuModel? I would like to show the user a two tier hierarchy as main menu and submenus. Thank you very much in advance. Best regards, Juan.___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
Travel Assistance for GUADEC 2015
The GNOME Foundation can offer travel sponsorship to individuals who want to attend GUADEC and need financial assistance. We are happy to announce that the Travel Committee is ready to receive applications for sponsorships to attend to GUADEC 2015. Application deadline: 2015-06-22. Send in your applications now, do not wait until the deadline. The instructions are at https://wiki.gnome.org/Travel Some additional comments: * Any information you send to the Travel Committee will be private. * Asking for sponsorship *does not* guarantee that you will be sponsored. * A good application with good information will be processed faster. * If you are offered help with accommodation, the Travel Committee will book your accommodation. You should state that you need accommodation, and leave the cost blank. * Always choose the most economical option whenever possible. People who need travel sponsorship should look for the best price (i.e. through a service like kayak.com). If the Travel Committee finds a cheaper price, that will be the price considered during the evaluation. * No personal emails. Keep travel-committee CCed on all of your replies. Neglecting to do this will delay your application. * How to get to Gothenburg: https://www.guadec.org/travel/ * If you are a Foundation member, you should mention it in your application. Preference will be given to Foundation members. * If your paper submission was accepted to be presented at GUADEC, you should mention it in your application. Preference will be given to speakers. * If you are in the Google Summer of Code program or Outreachy/OPW (as student or mentor) you must mention it in your application. Preference will be given to GSoC or OPW interns and mentors. OPW and GSoC students usually get a percentage of their GUADEC expenses covered by their sponsoring organisation. * The Travel committee should confirm that we have received your application within 2-3 days. After that, we will process them together. So please do not panic if we take some time to respond with the status. Regardless of whether your application is accepted or rejected, you will always receive a response. You can find us in the #travel channel at irc.gnome.org. I would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that everyone, and especially sponsored attendees, is encouraged to volunteer during GUADEC: https://www.guadec.org/volunteer/ ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
