Hi! I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this question, so please point me to the correct list if necessary. My concern is the following: Since a while I'm driving the development of a GTK+ based news aggregator named "Liferea" [1]. For a long time the goal was to go without GNOME to be a bit more portable (Solaris, Cygwin, non-DE users...) with only minor build dependencies. In the recent time this became less important and a lot of drawbacks became more apparent. This begins with a self-written HTTP client, missing download manager and MIME type support, problematic proxy configuration, missing password managment and a lot of other issues. As of today I'm pretty sure that most users will run Liferea with a GNOME desktop installed which makes it appealing to reuse GNOME components to gain code quality and time to focus on features. Another important point is the relative lack of at developers working on the project or simple code reviews as a standalone project. Therefore my question: Given those conditions does it make sense and is it possible and is there interest of having a GNOME based version of Liferea? Besides Straw and Blam (I'm not sure about the activity of both projects) is there need for a non-Python and non-Mono GNOME news aggregator? -- Lars Lindner [1] http://liferea.sf.net _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
