Probably. So far I have a watch on all Dia pages, so I've been happily seeing how you, branko and Steffen have added most of the old content. If anybody feels left out of the Wiki goodness, we're still missing the Screenshots, Python and Examples sections (all fairly simple sections), as well as almost all of the FAQ (which is slightly more complex). For those who delight in the bleeding edge, I have just done a major overhaul of the text handling code (the one behind the in-diagram editable texts), doing away with some too-early optimizations, encapsulating lots, and paving the way for using the new textline object internally. All this might have caused bugs, I haven't seen anything unusual (apart from the cursor actually being placed right:) before I committed, but banging a bit on tonights anoncvs would be welcome. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
