So I guess I would like to give options so that +entry to contribution is as easy as it can be. This all started for me +when I looked into writing a module I wanted but found very little +documentation, and realised it would be more work to make my module +available in curses as well at gtk. + +As far as other contributors, I only have one willing to dive into code, +but it is very convenient as we work together (We just finished setting +up our new Mageia Cluster and so now are ready for more Mageia goodness +:<i>-P ) so a very small group at the moment, but to be honest, I think +</I>that is probably a good thing in the early stages. + +As I said, I have to get through this week at work first, a week of +deadlines, but then I can start writing some more concrete plans, and +start playing with the code. + +I'll make contact again in a few days when I am ready to get going. + +Cheers + +Tuxta + +On 28/06/12 08:02, Angelo Naselli wrote: +><i> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- +</I>><i> Hash: SHA1 +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Hi, +</I>><i> I'm back to this subject, because, as you probably know, the +</I>><i> proposal[1] has been accepted[2] and has to be merged with mine[3] +</I>><i> and discussed a bit to understand what we have to do and who can help. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Il 13/06/2012 14:35, Steven Tucker ha scritto: +</I>>><i> This proposal may be a bit different to the several others you +</I>>><i> have seen in that a lot of the heavy lifting has already been done. +</I>>><i> The Ui layer is provided by libYui and friends, and the logic is +</I>>><i> already there in mcc.
