XFC maintainer ....

Rate this Message:
Hi ...
I have been handed the privilege of being maintainer of this XFC project, and I am very happy about this as some of my efforts to improve XFC will become useful for others. too. My plan for XFC is this : * SourceView (done) * Debian packages (done) * GTK 2.10 printing support ! * Xfce extensions * Simpler iterator model * Cleanup documentation * Stability, and bug fixes These are based on my own needs, as I use XFC for some of my own projects (some may even become official :-)). I have developed C++ programs for many years (about 10 at least), and have both been doing Gtkmm and even windows programming (also some work with C++ frameworks back then). I work full time as programmer (in Denmark), so this is still done in my spare time :-) I am looking forward to making a better C++ framework for GTK+ and to make an easy Xfce4 abstraction, to make future Xfce4 programming more easy to do. I start my carrier as maintainer with a weeks vercation, so please be patient with me in the start :-) /BL _______________________________________________ Xfc-dev mailing list Xfc-dev@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfc-dev |

Bo,
congrats, and this is great news. it is always good to have some one at the top as opposed to confusion about the future. And when that some one is a person like you who has shown interest and followed it up with actions, it inspires the fringe members like me too :). i have not used XFC for anything significant. but when i had visited it for the first time my objective was to develop a settings system for my distro VectorLinux. but turned out that XFC had no wrapper for the mcs system. Jeff had said that it would be a future enhancement. I hope it will find a place in your list at some point. Also packages for other major distros would also be great. i will try to build them for slack 11.0 tgz and VectorLinux tgz and tlz [ no time commitment though] i feel easily available packages for Xubuntu also would increase userbase. thanks cheers ram On 4/18/07, Kok, Auke <sofar@...> wrote: Bo Lorentsen wrote: _______________________________________________ Xfc-dev mailing list Xfc-dev@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfc-dev |

Ok, if this is the Xfce way then I will just do so ... just need to think about it for at few days :-) /BL _______________________________________________ Xfc-dev mailing list Xfc-dev@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfc-dev |

Noting will make my job more easy/nice than lot of active users :-) But until then, only hard work lay ahead :-) > i have not used XFC for anything significant. but when i had visited it for > the first time my objective was to develop a settings system for my distro > VectorLinux. Ok, I have never been using any slack based dist, as I am a long time Debian user, both at home and at work. > but turned out that XFC had no wrapper for the mcs system. And there is some confusion about the MCS subject among Xfce developers so I hope this will be settled soon. And when it is, I will be happy to put it on my todo list (You are welcome to do so yourself, as far as I know). The debian packages I have made, works nicely on Ubuntu too (have been testing it) ... I will be happy to support any attempts to expand the userbase, but for now I will try to focus on making XFC more mature, and use it to develop a few applications too. If people see that it is alive and the mailing list is responsive then more developers dares to invest time in XFC, I think ... /BL _______________________________________________ Xfc-dev mailing list Xfc-dev@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfc-dev |

I hope that if you setup priorities, you can get other people involved now instead of "later". Sometimes a blog post is sufficient, but being concrete does help a lot. So, it's a suggestion Cheers, Auke _______________________________________________ Xfc-dev mailing list Xfc-dev@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfc-dev |

So, it's a suggestion It is a good idea to be as visible as possible while developing, I agree completely. I just have to get use to this new role and come up with a precise plan :-) /BL _______________________________________________ Xfc-dev mailing list Xfc-dev@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfc-dev |
