The lack of responses, activity in this list might not mean there would not be interest. At least for me the case is, I'll use the new things (you've implemented) in PythonCard if I have a need for them (and they're easily available/findable). It's certainly good to know they are there! But I personally am too busy right now to start evaluating them just out of curiosity. I think there are two ways of making sure the interest exists, as much it can, in addition to this mailing list: 1) The demo applications pythoncard has are excellent way to sell the tool, if you have the energy, perhaps you could add your new stuff there too? 2) Documentation, as in component specs in: http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/framework/components.html or/and as in an article in 'getting started' chapter in http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/documentation.html You're doing a good Job John! -Teuvo 2011/5/3 John Henry <[email protected]> > Seems to have very little interest in this but if anybody wants to get a > hold of the current version of what I have, you should be able to get it > from the SVN depository using tortoiseSVN. > > Can someone at least try to download the whole thing and see if it works? > > On 5/1/2011 1:08 AM, John Henry wrote: > > Ran into some problem with Mercurial and I really don't have enough > > time to try to figure it out.
