Hi folks, This would be a great project for anyone who is interested in hacking AbiWord, GTK+2, AikSaurus, or just free software in general. There are several small parts to this POW, but it's pretty low-lying fruit and would be great for a newbie. These parts must be done sequentially.
1) Update aiksaurus's configure checks for GTK2. AbiWord's configure scripts and ac-helpers have this code already, so hopefully it's a cut&paste job. We have some auto* gurus and helpful folks on IRC if you need help. 2) Update aiksaurus's GTK+ dialog to use GTK+2 widgets and functions. This will probably not be too difficult, but I will shut my mouth lest I use it to shoot myself in the foot. Mostly, this should be: a) Use g_signal_connect instead of gtk_signal_connect b) Use a GtkDialog instead of a GtkWindow 3) If necessary, update AbiWord's plugin (abiword-plugins/tools/aiksaurus) to work with any changes made in #2. That should be all, I think. If you want, you can email me for help, or even better - stop bye on IRC so we can work in real-time: irc.gnome.org#abiword Thanks and good luck, Dom Lachowicz, AbiWord maintainer
