halting problem :: Maintainership

:: ~1 min read

Vincent kindly asked me to join the maintainer team of gnome-utils, and I more than gladly accepted.

In order to celebrate the event, here’s the latest screenshot of my development trunk for Dictionary:

gnome dictionary new the new Dictionary

As you can see, the current state is not far from the actual, stable, Dictionary:

gnome dictionary old the old Dictionary

What’s missing:

  • the text parsing
  • the menu callbacks
  • the preferences dialog
  • the user’s manual
  • print support

The feature equivalence could require a bit more time than foreseen - especially the printing part and the manual - but I plan to have everything in place befor Christmas: think of it as my gift.

I plan to commit the new-dictionary to HEAD as soon as I have finished the menu callbacks and the preferences dialog.
