Hello! I followed the development of dashboard with great intrest a couple of years back. I located the google code page for dashboard, which listed theese things to be done: * libdashboard - Or as its better known, a C library that generates valid, parseable clues. This is not only critical since most plugin authors aren't going to want to spend the time validating that mono can deserialize all their XML. But because we can generate bindings for most every other language once we have them in C. * Real Bug/Performance Testing/Fixing - This is a huge one, Dashboard is still pre-alpha, and mostly proof of concept. While the code base could be brought up to production level, it needs tons of cleanup. This is where an army of open source dev's can help the most, compile and install dashboard from SVN, then just play with it, and every time it crashes, track down why, and try to make it sane. This is long, slow, tedious, and thankless work, but it is an absolute necessity if people want to start using dashboard, as even simple race cases will crash dashboard most of the time. * Mappings/Rules - You have to be a little more familiar with the Beagle/Dashboard code base to help out with this, but we need them for a huge spread of plugins, and almost everything beagle can generate.</li></ul></ul> Is there more stuff that have to be done? Is anybody working on dashboard? /nisse -- Nils-Erik Svangård E-Mail: [email protected] MSN: [email protected] Skype: schweingaard Mobil: +46-(0)70-3612178
