Part of the reason that this project was accepted to be hosted in GNOME CVS was that it's written in Ruby, and we don't have many Ruby applications at home. So I think having Fantasdic helps our Ruby bindings, as well as a gnome-dictionary dup written in a higher level language that can more easily experiment new features, that we may want to add to gnome-dictionary later... > — Danilo --behdad http://behdad.org/ "Commandment Three says Do Not Kill, Amendment Two says Blood Will Spill" -- Dan Bern, "New American Language" _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
