Yep, thanks Zander. This makes sense.
So as i understand, the focus (and priorities) are:
1. migrate to gtk3 --> pool of contributing members is needed
2. establish a coding standard across the project --> can come from the
above pool's experience
3. secure that Dia will remain at significant distributions such as
Debian --> update usage of deprecated libraries, maybe through the
transition to gtk3
I think we must streamline somehow this development, what is your
opinion (list wise question)?
PS: do we know how many people are subscribed to this mailing list ?
