Sayamindu, I figured out how to set up Pathagar and get it running. I'm going to be writing it up in my book. One comment: the book list shows the books in sequence by how they were entered into the database. I would think other sort sequences would be more useful. Second comment: I'd make the

A couple of thoughts prior to the meeting today: (1) Re new vs resume, I would argue that we already have a mechanism in place, the delayed palette on the home view. If we made the palette appear instantly, much of the problem would be addressed and we'd not have to introduce an additional modal d

Thanks for reviewing this patch. I think I have addressed all issues raised by tomeu, silbe and quozl. Additionally, I've put the portion of code that accesses the /proc/stat and /proc/meminfo files in a try...except block. When an exception occurs, all the widgets barring _cpu_text are removed a

[Sugar-devel] [PATCH] Add cpu and memory resource indicator to frame

2010-07-10 Thread anishmangal2002
