Yesterday I finished my last exam (until June).
Now, it's time to sort all my ideas and restart my Free Software developments.
Gnome Language and Culture capplet
It's too late to finish the localization capplet for GNOME 2.6 so it will be delayed until GNOME 2.8, any UI review/suggestion
is welcomed.
I will start developing a library like icu from
IBM but smaller and without the things we already have inside GNOME (like Pango and libc locales). My idea is use the
iso-codes's translations as the country/language database translation
and add the missing bits so we get something that could be easily integrated inside Glib or as an add-on API following Glib's API.
GNOME Translation Status Pages
This is my first priority now, I have new features, bug fixes and changes, lot of changes to improve them, but they are not
finished and they should be ready before GNOME 2.6 release. My brain is full of possible enhancements for those pages but
I will try to add the new features gradually so we can enjoy new features now instead of waiting for all them finished...
Thus, my priority now is release a new version with the new features I was implementing until today.
SecServer a.k.a. a good authorization and priviledge scaling framework
This service is inside my head since long ago but I'm always busy to develop something so any other hacker gets interested on it and help me. But now it's different I was talking with Gustavo Noronha Silva, the gksu's maintainer and he's interested on this kind of service. Now I should prepare an API proposal and we could start working on it. If you are interested on it, please send me an email. As a side note, we want to develop it as a desktop agnostic service so it could be shared between GNOME, KDE, XFCE, and any other desktop.
We are taking the Apple solution as the base because I think it's a really good one.
GNOME bounties
Until I get a job, they are the best way to get some money and also improve GNOME ;-)
