Some of the students of our nosip program are now looking into enhancements and feature additions in evolution..Hence was born the ‘Evolution Tasks’ page under the Resource section. Keep watching the page for lots of interesting stuff in the coming days..and i do hope bug-fixing continues to be on the top of our activities even as we move to new features.
I faced some interesting questions on Eclipse in the irc..I had promised to come clean on this page..So, here runs my ‘confession’
I have been using gvim primarily for my work on evolution and it is much better for getting things done than eclipse today..thats so because the java dev tools in eclipse are a few generations ahead of the CDT. If the gnome community finds value in the eclipse framework, it can quickly catch up or may even probably evolve into something new and more appropriate for gnome based development. And thats for visionaries, i’m content enough to get today’s thing done…
So i added a plugin to include gtk-help into the eclipse help system..It would be nice to browse, autocomplete GNOME APIs and perform code refactorings -all from within the editor..I plan to work on this on my free time. Infact, I see devhelp-eclipse to be a powerful combo to enrich the development experience…
