Because something cool never happens in a single commit, but more like
in a week of work from a dev with several commits. So it's important to
step back a little and get an outline of what's hapenning.
However, I'm not sure pushing that on only one person reading the mails
is such a good idea. Maybe we should ask the devs to give more info
about what they are doing...
Let's start here :
This week I've been working mostly on polishing the locale kit. This
includes a new method to list the available translations for a given
application, introducing a system-wide catalog that allows translating
things used in multiple apps (as of now, the BColorControl class (seen
in Appearance preflet) and the StringForSize method (seen in DriveSetup
application)). I also compiled friss, an old rss feed reader, on Haiku,
fixing several small bugs with the help of the original developer. I
plan on working more on this small application to bring it to a more
interesting state, maybe converting it into a true News Kit working a
bit like the mail daemon. I alos tried to work on the decorators, but I
encountered too much bugs in this area, so I kept it in a corner to
look at it later. Everyone is also busy with selecting the students for
the summer of code.
Note : I would have made a summary of BeGeistert Coding Sprint results,
but everyone here keeps speaking german so I don't know much of what's
hapenning, actually :)
