What do people think gtk needs most urgently at the moment? Things I've
heard mentioned:
0) Documentation and bug-fixes. Obviously a priority ;)
1) Bindings for other languages: C++, Python, Guile seem to be the most
popular requests. (If anyone's thinking of doing this, I'd really
recommend at least looking at SWIG - I've used it for a few things
before, and it can be used to automate a lot of donkey work).
2) Extra widgets: a directory-tree style widget might be nice; also
higher-level widgets like toolbars. Anything in particular?
3) A Gui-builder (I've gotten quite fond of SpecTcl lately).
Probably a lot of work to get right, though. It could be a lot easier
if it could be built on top of (say) a Python layer.
Is anyone doing any of this stuff, or thinking of doing it in the future?
I may have some time available in a few weeks, and I'll get bored if I
don't have something to write ;) Obviously, I'd like to avoid duplicating
other people's work or doing something completely useless...
Cheers,
-Edwin
