Most of the work that remains for Gtkmm is straightforward conversion stuff. If anyone would be interested in joining me on this after the release, just ask. We need both people to work on individual widgets and dialogs, and people to work at more meta-level across all dialogs. The only knowledge required is basic C++ and the ability to read the gtkmm.org website. ;-)
As I've said before, I really want to start helping with the Gtkmm stuff, and have done a couple of the tutorials on the website. However my C++ is extremely basic and quite rusty. So, after the .40 release, I should be able to devote some time to getting completely up to snuff on the Gtkmm side, and start helping to convert those dialogs. As always though, it's been that "free time" thing that's a killer. =)
Since we have a lot of Win32 users but a precious few Win32
developers,
what could we do to increase the quantity of Win32 devs to better
match
the need? Would user-funded bug bounties help?
Since most of my contributions on the developing side will probably end with the finishing of the gtkmm conversion, what can someone who only has very basic C++ skills do? I can always contribute more dialogs in the future (I'd love to help with UI stuff if the team can use it). And as stated before, I'm just waiting for the project to start accepting donations, and I'll start sending them (which I guess relates to the user-funded bug bounties).
OT... and not that you probably don't already have enough people offering, but if you need help with any standards compliant webdesign I'm down to help with that too. Otherwise I will continue to help confirm bugs in the tracker, try to see if any RFEs should be combined/closed (duplicates), etc and report what I can in the meantime.
