features, bugs and anything else for gtkpod ...

Greetings people,

I should start with saying that my life is getting increasingly busy and
my dedication to the project is as a consequence not as great as last
year. However, I am still developing and trying to move it forward but
other developers, regardless of experience, are essential. Please do not
feel afraid to contact Christophe (teuf), Jorg, Todd (tmz) or I for any
help in getting into the code. Trust me, a collaborative development
effort is far healthier and industrious than just me hacking on a whim.

This does not in any way ignore other members of the community who are
already contributing in other ways. Its just my concern is stagnation of
development due to my personal circumstances over the next year or
two.

Anyway...

If anyone would like to contribute ideas, bugs, feature requests for a
new todo list for the next version of gtkpod then please start posting
things on http://gtkpod.org/bugs. Ideas for particular plugins would be
useful too - maybe porting some banshee plugins might be helpful ... ?

I have already started to update gtkpod to use anjuta 2.96+ since this
is the least available in fedora 15 (due out in the next couple of
months). This update uses gtk3, which therefore requires a gtkpod
migration (which I am in the middle of!). Other distros like Ubuntu
Natty are not yet going to gtk3 so I guess they are not taking the
latest anjuta yet either, which means they will probably be updating to
gtkpod 2.0.0 (fedora 15 cannot since although it has a gtk2 library
still, it lacks an anjuta 2.32). Therefore, the gtk3 upgrade of gtkpod
will probably be a sister release for a while until all distros have
eventually transitioned to gtk3.

Other than that, the bug to fix embedded artwork is sitting in my git
repo and needs further tweaking (requires conversion of gtkpod's local
repositories to full directories).

I think that is enough for now. Any thoughts do let me know.

Cheers

PGR (a.k.a. phantomjinx)
