GSoC Proposal: Live news feed from financial newspapers

[Ajay Thomas]

Hi

I am a student aspiring to contribute to gnucash during GSoC. I have built
gnucash from source, got a good idea of how the application works and am
working on a few bugs now.

I feel there is one main feature that can be included. There is currently no
support for live news feed from financial newspapers. I am planning on using
the RSS feed to develop this plugin for gnucash. Thus, the user need not
browse the net to search for news on stocks and finding out how his
portfolio is performing etc. The news can be personalized according to his
needs which can be set by the user itself.

Please give me your feedback on the proposal, I can work on the timeline and
implementation accordingly.

Re: [Bug 645518] GnuCash crashes immediately after splash screen

[J. Alex Aycinena]

Christian,

Unfortunately, I am away from my system and my schedule is such that I
will not be able to get back to it for several weeks. Can I ask you
for a favor? Can you back-out my last change to 'gnc-ui-util.c' for me
and I can investigate it further then?

TIA,

Alex

Re: r20494 make check fails

[Bill Hammond]

Hi, Christian!  Thanks for getting back to me.

Yup, It looks like I got bit by mixed binaries.  The
libgncmod-generic-import.la I was linking against was dated March 8th. 
I cleaned up my unstable binary directory, rebuilt everything and make
check runs just fine now.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Bill

I don't see this error here. "make check" runs fine.

That could happen if the "test-link" executable somehow tries to link against 
a slightly older version of gnucash's gncmod-generic-import.la which didn't 
have this symbol. I've added this approx. 5 weeks ago, or at least I've added 
the usage of this in the ofx module. A mixup of older and newer binaries could 
cause this error.

If no such mixup can have occurred on your system, we need to do further 
investigations...

Re: GNUCash Spanish translation 2.4.4 and trunk

[Christian Stimming]

Dear Francisco,

thank you very much for your updated translation. I've committed it into our 
SVN for the next release of the stable (2.4.x) branch so that it will be in 
2.4.5 and all following releases.

Note: As we've now created separate branches for subsequent 2.4.x releases vs. 
experimental development (trunk), the translations are maintained *only* for 
the 2.4 branch. I've explained this on 
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation_Status : 
> The complete translation is maintainted only in
> the branch-2.4 of gnucash. The po files in trunk are completely

Thanks again for your contribution!

Agreed.  I have noticed that sometimes the chart legend covers over
bars.

Agreed, the new plots look much nicer. I like them very much. With a little 
bit of polishing like suggested by John and Chris, they can go into trunk as

I also agree that the new graphs look good. A couple of additional
issues that I have seen are
1) When there are a lot of bar the date labels run over each other where
as gog graphs does not show all dates.
2) In gog when the are negative values the get stacked negatively from 0

Yes, and it also means we need to disable gtkhtml completely. Which is fine 
for trunk, given we just branched off the 2.4-stable branch.

As a first step, I've disabled gtkhtml in configure and added an explanatory 
error message.
