Yes I would be fine about SVN access.
Excellent, welcome! Can you give me your Google Account email address?
As we're hosting on Google code each committer must have a Google
Account with that email address.
As John raised the java bindings and it may influence what I might be
wanting to do with liblouis/liblouisxml let me outline where I am.
Personally there are elements of java I prefer over python but I have
to say interfacing with C from java seems a bit much (I don't know C
so limits my options, python is good in that sense as there is
cython). Also with the recent news of Sun support for gnome
accessibility being cut, I have decided as I have the skills to help
there may be its time for me to pull my finger out and do something
for orca (this means python).
Yes, this is not good news. Any work to further the adoption of liblouis
(be it on Python or on Java bindings) is great with me.
I personally am interested in the Java bindings as they might enable me
to better integrate liblouis with the Daisy Pipeline. But it is not
critical as the integration can also be done at a lower level via a
command line tool. Also there is apparently the possibility to integrate
Python code in the pipeline.
this point I pretty well had abandoned them as I had found cython and
that was a great boost for me wanting to use python. I do have a bit
of me feeling I really should learn some C and how to use the JNI as
java would be more useful if I want to do commercial work. Any hints
of where to learn enough C for JNI work?
I see where you're coming from. If Python gets your job done faster why
not go for it? As for learning C for JNI work, I don't know. I'm not
such a C expert myself. K&R
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language_%28book%29) was
a good bases, but that probably doesn't help with JNI.
So this means that python probably is the thing of main interest at
the moment as far as projects I will be working on but I do have
interest with java but its not such a priority to me.
As I said any furthering of liblouis is taken with gratitude, be it with
Python or with Java.
Thanks
Christian
