FYI, there is a BeOpen.com-sponsored project at SourceXchange for
paid
work to integrate an Open Source GUI toolkit with XEmacs and InfoDock
(BeOpen.com's Open Source IDE built atop XEmacs). The code developed
under the project will be GPLed and broadly distributed.
Just an FYI for other people on the list... I think I'm going to submit a
proposal later this week. I think after a design document is done that it
would take about a month of full-time coding, and I was planning on just
using vacation / comp-time to do it. The 4-5 week timeframe is based on
using Qt, since it already has the easy ability to work with Xt-based
applications, and I have more experience with it than gtk. Qt also works
better on win32 at the moment.
Bonus points if it can be abstracted enough to work with other toolkits
eventually. :)
I also just noticed that the deadline was yesterday... Urk. I was stuck in
transit from seattle to indiana during most of the weekend. I assume that
since nobody got a proposal in that more will be accepted?
Visit
www.sourceXchange.com and browse the RFPs section for specific
details on the project which is titled Graphical InfoDock/XEmacs. It
should be a fun and highly useful piece of work as well as a way to earn
some side income.
Was planning on emailing you about this today bob... finally recovered from
my week in purgatory (seattle) and weekend in hell (airports). :)
