I remember being around when people were first bouncing around the idea of a developer's suite and I'd love to see it a reality, but you're bringing up an interesting point. If we did it now, we'll probably have Devhelp and Glade-3. For G20 we might add Nerimeriver (how do you spell it?) and maybe Anjuta. I'm not sure on what the timeline for GtkBuilder is, but an interface editor at that point would certainly be a wonderful complement. That said, there are still people who have never heard of Devhelp, if we had an official developer set, maybe it would get more press and as soon as possible. So, I would be tempted to add it now, and add the debugger/IDE next time, but there is certainly a case to go for the suite-grande next time around. --d PS. I have been drinking, if this doesn't make sense, that is why. -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
