Hi everybody,

as you know, i have been developing several features of xournal. Some of
them become integrated with xournal, others do not.

But I try to keep them updated and ready to be integrated, in the chance
that one day they become part of xournal. This had lead to my github
repo being a total mess.

One of these branches, "next", has been my personal playground and the
version that I use on a daily basis (I use xournal a lot, mostly to
annotate PDFs) both in Windows and Linux.

But maintaining everything in one repo has lead to confusion.

So this is what I am doing:

http://github.com/xournal/xournal

This is the "official" mirror of xournal. Its main purpose is to serve
as a place for others to branch from and create features.

http://github.com/dmgerman/xournal

My own repo of xournal. Master is upstream, but my features are branches
in it. It currently has many branches, one per feature. See
https://github.com/dmgerman/xournal-next/blob/master/README.org for a
full description.

http://github.com/dmgerman/xournal-next

this is my own personal version of xournal. It incorporates many of my
branches and features. It is file-compatible with xournal. Try at your
own risk. :) 

For example, I have long wanted a way to create a screenshot from
anywhere and loaded into xournal with a simple keystroke. I have
recently added support for command line options (cl-options
branch). Today I added a new one: --screenshot. When run as

xournal --screenshot

it waits for a click to make a screenshot then loads it into a new
xournal file. You can tie this command to your window manager and you
are set ;)

dmg@iodine xournal$ ./src/xournal --help
Usage:
  xournal [OPTION...] [FILE] 

Help Options:
  -h, --help               Show help options
  --help-all               Show all help options
  --help-gtk               Show GTK+ Options

Application Options:
  -p, --page=N             Jump to Page
  -s, --screenshot         Start with screenshot
  --display=DISPLAY        X display to use

it also supports loading a specific page. I envision that it can be used
to override options in the config file.

Please keep in mind that most of the features I have implemented are
geared towards PDF annotation.
