baselayout-gui was supposed to be a brand new project with a few simple screens. Most of the prospectives ideas were what I had in mind - easily doable inside the timescale. ... > * Nothing that requires lots of prior learning. Ah, that was the snag. The chosen student wanted to do it in python with GTK+ bindings. It was only AFTER he was accepted that he acknowleged that he didn't know python that well and knew nothing about GTK+, so over half the time was spend him "learning" about above topics. My mistake was trusting him too much.... Saying that, the project is almost complete - the only reason it never hit portage was the it destroyed config parts that it did not know about. After SOC finished, my student has been mute to my emails :/ Thanks Roy -- [email protected] mailing list
