Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 17:34:04 -0500 (EST) From: Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com> To: gnome-announce-list@gnome.org, gnome-list@gnome.org Subject: GNOME Summary Nov 23-Dec 1: Widget repository, Business 2.0 article, This is the GNOME Summary for November 23 - December 1, 1999. ============================================================= Table of Contents ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Widget Repository Created 2) Business 2.0 Magazine Mention 3) sawmill.themes.org goes live 4) New Sawmill 5) Helix Code guys have activity logs 6) GNOME Office Web Pages and Name Change 7) GtkHTML Screenshots 8) Hacking Activity 9) New and Updated Software ============================================================== 1) Widget Repository Created -------------------------------------------------------------- A widget repository for widgets and other hunks of GTK/GNOME code is an often-requested feature. Now we have one set up; see: http://developer.gnome.org/tools/repo/ Please submit your widgets! ============================================================== 2) Business 2.0 Magazine Mention -------------------------------------------------------------- Business 2.0 magazine mentioned GNOME in one of those "overstated/underrated" articles. Notable because it's an article in a business magazine, not a computer magazine: http://www.business2.com/articles/1999/11/content/technology_3.html ============================================================== 3) sawmill.themes.org goes live -------------------------------------------------------------- Themes for Sawmill are now just a click away: http://sawmill.themes.org ============================================================== 4) New Sawmill -------------------------------------------------------------- John Harper normally releases Sawmill every Monday like clockwork; but converting his Lisp interpreter to lexical scoping and changing all the window manager code accordingly made him miss (only) a week or two. The guy is a coding machine. Anyway, a new Sawmill is out, and the lexical scoping allows themes to be "sandboxed" and made relatively safe; Trojan horse themes shouldn't be a danger with the latest version. Sawmill is here: http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~john/sw/sawmill/index.html ============================================================== 5) Helix Code guys have activity logs -------------------------------------------------------------- If you're a fan of Alan Cox's diary you might enjoy the diaries of some of the Helix Code (formerly International GNOME Support) employees, look here: http://www.nuclecu.unam.mx/~miguel/activity-log.html ============================================================== 6) GNOME Office Web Pages and Name Change -------------------------------------------------------------- Miguel posted a request-for-assistance with new GNOME Office web pages. Also, we are renaming it from GNOME Workshop to GNOME Office because no one could figure out that we had an office suite with the GNOME Workshop name. Blame the media! Here's the request-for-assistance: http://www.gnome.org/mailing-lists/archives/gnome-list/1999-November/0880.shtml ============================================================== 7) GtkHTML Screenshots -------------------------------------------------------------- Massive hacking on the GtkHTML module; check out these screenshots: http://info.stjerneskolan.com/gnome/gtkhtml/ Anders and Ettore are doing a great job with this widget. ============================================================== 8) Hacking Activity -------------------------------------------------------------- Module Score-O-Matic: (number of CVS commits per module, during this week) 53 gimp 44 entity 38 gnumeric 32 gtk-- 27 gnome-core 27 balsa 26 web-devel-2 26 gtkhtml 25 bonobo 23 gnome-utils 20 pybliographer 19 libgtop 19 gnome-libs 19 evolution 18 glade-- 17 bonobo-doc 16 panel-- 15 galway 14 bug-buddy 12 mc 12 gnome-docu User Score-O-Matic: (number of CVS commits per user, during this week) 42 unammx 26 pablo 24 hp 23 imain 21 mwimer 21 jrb 20 fredgo 19 neo 19 christof 18 mmeeks 18 kenelson 18 cactus 17 mathieu 17 ettore 17 dietmar 16 sopwith 16 martin 16 jody 16 jberkman 15 arios 14 rasta 13 jirka 12 philipd 12 kodis 12 kmaraas 12 jcape 12 cgabriel ============================================================== 9) New and Updated Software -------------------------------------------------------------- Eucalyptus - email client db_designer - Merise diagram db designer gPopUp - SAMBA message program Pygmy - email client written in Python bug-buddy - bug report wizard gnome_dialup - PPP utility Gnome Toaster - CD creation suite Pan - newsreader GnomeSensors - dock application sawmill - nice window manager for GNOME GSwitchIt - Xkb state indicator for the panel LED Counter - counts things (applet) DPS-FTP - ftp client gEdit - text editor Merlin's CPU Fire Applet - shows flames corresponding to system load irssi - IRC client wmG - small GTK based window manager Finder - Mac-style finder bar vsa - visual sound analyzer applet GMatH - math environment GProc-applet - process list EasyASP - ASP web development galway - nice web editor See the software map on www.gnome.org (or Freshmeat) for more information about any of these packages. =========================================================================== Until next week - Havoc
