Dear colleagues,
year ago, during mentoring GCI 2011, I had productive experience with
publishing some Trac tickets as tasks for students. So they do some good
work on fixing Mail, Terminal applications and setmime, writembr
command-line tools. This time I have started with looking on the list of
StyledEdit problems. Some of tickets are already offered as tasks for
GCI 2012 other are still waiting.
There are also tickets that are not clear. The one of them is
"[StyledEdit] column number add" http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3655
related to the status line support, that was removed in hrev30006. From
the one side the status line was removed as "not useful", from the other
the ticket #3655 is not closed as invalid. There are also some comments
in the Trac from the people who miss it. Looks like we have no unanimity
in this point.
My personal opinion is: having only the current line/position counters
in the status line is neither so useful nor aesthetically pleasant. But
loading it with more info like current encoding, count of lines etc.
will give this application more professional and mature look.
So, please share your opinions. Are we need more informative version of
status line in StyledEdit or should just close #3655 as invalid?
Thank you for attention!
