Sure, but this will probably not happen before January since I don't have much time right now. > Can this work be applied as an incremental series of improvements, or is > it really a re-write? It really is a rewrite, I'm afraid. Some of the original code will still remain, but most of gattrib will get rewritten. Currently, all my changes are in a single 410 line patch. I should try to break this up, but my main goal is to implement at least 80% gattrib functionality so this will have to wait. > > (The good news is I've been able to greatly reduce code size, at least > > for those features that are implemented.) > > Nice. Does it still use the same GtkSheet widget etc.? Yes, in fact, my newest code just uses GtkSheet as a central entity. I figured if I just put all the data into GtkSheetCell then I wouldn't need various TABLEs anymore, so I now directly load attribs from a file into GtkSheet.

I think it is equivalent to a Masters thesis, but there are differences (which I am not familiar with). If you are familiar with German, the right term is 'Diplomarbeit'. > before any consensus / design is reached ;) Yes, that'll probably be the case.
