Hi guys, I don't know how many people are reading this mailinig-list on a regular basis by now, but I thought I'd give it a try.
GitX 0.7 is closing in, marking a lot of new features and therefore probably a lot of additional attention. One thing that's been neglected for quite some time (understandably, because the few people that contribute use what little time they have in code ;) is the documentation and the GitX-homepage (gitx.frim.nl). What needs to be done are the following things: - Bring the User-Manual up-to-date. This means rewriting parts that are obsolete, describing new features (a lot of GitX's feature are hidden unless you've read the code or really tried clicking everything on a hunch) and supplying new screenshots. - The homepage could be reworked a little, especially the "Home" page could use a small screenshot or in some other way quickly show what GitX is about (and show that it's still actively being developed). - Pieter did some screencasts showing common features. I'm not a fan of those but a lot of Mac-OS-folks seem to be, so it wouldn't hurt to have updated versions of some cool features of GitX that can best be conveyed in a video, like: - Line-wise staging - Staging/Unstaging/Discarding changes, ignoring files, - Collapse/Uncollapse commit-list/diff-view - Checkout branches from UI All the code you need to get is in the Gitx.git repo in the Site dir. Neither Pieter nor I are native english speakers, so feel free to bitch about those mistakes as well (bitching is best done using patches ;) And since the changes will be in Site/ they won't collide with any other development so you don't have to rebase constantly and/or lose work.
