romanocomp twisted the bytes to say:
Romano> Dear xournal developers,
thank you for this great software.
Romano> let me introduce myself: my name is Romano Giannetti, I am a
quite
Romano> old (really) Unix/Linux user (since 1988, no less), and I recently
Romano> acquired a wacom tablet and since then I am heavily using Xournal for
Romano> preparing notes for my classes. I made a couple of suggestions through
Romano> sourceforge, but I decided that, if needed, I would like to try to
help
Romano> back in development. I read the thread here:
Hi Romano,
welcome to the teacher's hacking group.
first let me apologize for taking this long to reply to you. It
is two weeks since your reply.
Denis (the main maintainer of Xournal) and I (who have been doing most
of the maintenance lately) have been having very little time lately
(this term of year has been dreadful for me both teaching and research
wise).
The best place for finding out what xournal state is the readme file in
my github repo:
https://github.com/dmgerman/xournal
Perhaps I'll take this opportunity to update everybody.
- The stable version of Xournal is Denis.
- I keep an "enhanced" version of Xournal in the branch next:
https://github.com/dmgerman/xournal/tree/next
- I have been working on a port to GTK3. The port is almost complete but
it suffers due to bad performance in slow CPU machines. This is a
major concern for me, given that in the last 8 months my main Xournal
computer is a Thinkpad Tablet 2 (in fact, it is a computer dedicated
almost exclusively to Xournal). Xournal stable and next run very well
on it (if anybody wants a copy of the windows binary I run, don't
hesitate to ask).
- There are some enhances to xournal here and there that need to be
integrated. In my opinion these are the most important (this does not
reflect Denis' view):
- While editing a PDF insert an empty page before/after the current
one. Xournal copies the current page.
- Support bookmarks (partially implemented, but requires work)
I'll probably go back to hacking on xournal in 2-3 weeks.
I'll also mention that my main priority has been PDF annotation. While I
use Xournal for creating notes, I mostly use it for editing and reviewer
papers.

and what I can do is to test Xournal in my Linux 13.10 laptop and
Romano> helping ironing out things. I used to program a bit in C, I know a
Romano> little of C++, but my skills with graphic interfaces are practically
Romano> zero (don't think programming graphics on Commodore 64 helps...); on
the
Romano> other hand I am able to use basic git and I am not scared about
Romano> compiling and test things.
So... I suppose from the above discussion that the logical thing
Romano> would be to test the gtk3 port with the later addition... especially
Romano> nice the ones done by the students cited in the thread above. Do you
Romano> have any hint --- which repositories copy, which branches, something
Romano> like that --- to start testing?
the answer is to use the branches in my repo.
Sorry again Romano for the delay in my response.
