Hello all, I need someone who knows perl to help me out adding XDG support to fvwm-menu-directory. As it stands this is currently broken [1]. Now, I've made some progress with this, but I don't have the time to devote to this to see it through to completion.
So -- is there anyone out there who can? I'm offering the following: * Mentoring. * Help with Perl / design issues. (To minimise the impact of doing this again -- I want to see a coule of perl modules written here to support: * XDG generation. * Data gathering. * Options/wrapper around the data structure (fvwm-menu-directory itself)). I have enough time to mentor someone, give feedback for patches, etc., but not to write the whole thing. It's also a lot of work -- so be warned. The current implementation of fvwm-menu-directory is too tightly coupled with the underlying data structure, which just makes it nasty to change any of the internals -- and rip it out we must -- to support XDG. So, anyone who's serious about this, and has the time to do it, let me know off-list please and I shall set you up with what you need. If you only think you have the time, don't bother contacting me, as I might as well just carry on doing things to what I have so far -- albeit the rate of progress will be as it stands now -- slow. -- Thomas Adam [1] Read the entire thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01895.html -- "Deep in my heart I wish I was wrong.
