That would be nice. I can of course take the bindings which originated with me (off the top of my head, libusb, libusb-1.0, libftdi, and librsvg-2.0). I also use sqlite3, libsoup-2.4 (though Zeeshan Ali already volunteered), and cairo a lot, so I could handle them too. -Evan > > Jürg _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
