To all magic developers of wxWidgets and wxPython/Phoenix

Since is my first post here, let me thank you all for these marvelous code 
framework. A big THANK YOU (with Robin on top of the list ;).

I am a Software Tester (who like to program, or is it the other way around? 
A software developer who likes to test?) :D.

Well, I only knew about wxPython, because I had to install Robot 
Framework's IDE (RIDE) (https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE) which is 
the best editor I know of for Tests and designed for Testers.

So, I decided to contribute with improvements to RIDE, and for long time it 
stayed only being supported for wxPython 2.8.12.1 (Linux and Windows) and 
2.9.5 at Mac OS. Well, then I asked myself, why not try to port to wxPython 
3? There were already attempts to do that, but they give up (also for lack 
of sponsorship and manpower). And now the RF already runs in Python 3. And 
I (and others) don't want to loose (the) RIDE, so I keep on going to port 
first to wxPhoenix, and finally to Python 3.4 (yeah I see you are already 
talking about 3.5 ;) ).

And how about having wxPhoenix tested with Robot Framework (that would be 
an excellent Testers challenge, and the best proof of concept for testing 
automation)?
And how about finding people who have an hobby (like me) of coding with 
wxPython? That is why I am posting here. I would like to have more people 
looking at RIDE's code and helping us to have it fully ported and in a 
single official master branch.

Right know I have it working for Windows, Linux and MacOS, for the standard 
version of wxPython 2.8.12.1 (with a minor bug under chasing) and lower 
versions, but also in wxPython 3.0.2 (some known bugs), and it already runs 
in wxPhoenix (in Windows and Linux) but with a lot of bugs (only got it 
working today in Linux ;) ).

So, if I convinced some of you to look ate the project, please fork, 
download or install from
https://github.com/HelioGuilherme66/RIDE/tree/wxPhoenix  

(Please leave the official project free from Issues about this fork or 
versions).

Thank you all,
And keep coding portable multi-platform applications.
