Hi guys, About the current situation of Etk, I don't think I will work on it anytime soon for several reasons. First of all, for the last months, I haven't really had so much free time to dedicate to Etk, I have been kept quite busy by a lot of things such as school, personnal projects, friends... I also have somehow lost faith in this whole project (not only Etk, but the whole E project), I won't tell more about it, but I don't think the current situation suits me. And another important reason is that I don't think that Etk is innovative enough to be a real step forward... let's face it, it's "just" another toolkit such as Gtk or Qt, that uses the EFL ok, but there is nothing really innovative about it.
I've recently started to work on another project that I find more innovative and interesting. It'll be something like Adobe Flash, but with a real toolkit inside it. It'll be used to create real customized GUI for application, but also to create some gadgets or some games. In fact, something like Edje, but with widgets and with a more powerful scripting language that will allow to have a real control on the animation. I really have nothing to show yet and almost no code written, just a lot of ideas in my head. I'll probably use a lot of code from Etk for the "widget" side of the project. Anyway.. if anybody who already contributed to Etk wants to become the new maintainer, I'd be glad to hear that the project is not totally dead. I just don't think I'll work on it anymore...
