Hi, I'm a maintainer of libvtemm and I'd like to propose it to be a part of GNOME.
Purpose: libvtemm is C++ binding for VTE. It wraps C API in the same manner like gtkmm wraps gtk+. Target: Rather GNOME Desktop, because VTE is a part of Desktop too. Dependencies: Gtkmm, VTE and their dependencies. No new external ones are introduced. Resource usage: FTP: http://download.gnome.org/sources/libvtemm/ Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=libvtemm git: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/libvtemm docs: http://library.gnome.org/devel/libvtemm/ Adoption: Unfortunately, not wide yet. I noticed some projects, which could use these bindings (nemiver, aptitude-gtk, synaptic, mlview; the last one is unmaintained, so it probably does not count very much). I'm trying to get it into Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527241 I'll try later to put it into Debian, but hard drive on my PC bricked recently, so now I'm Fedora only. GNOME-ness, community: I could provide patches integrating libvtemm to project written in C++ using vte. I made once a local branch of nemiver replacing vte with libvtemm and it worked. 3.0 readiness: It makes GNOME's effort to provide bindings to other languages more complete. It doesn't use any deprecated libraries. Deprecated functions in VTE are not wrapped. License: GPL3+ Miscellaneous: libvtemm is already in jhbuild.
