Hi All,
Just to say that working on the Lumiera project, we've adopted the GDL library for panel management, same as Inkscape. We've found some shortcomings with GDL: it's got a few bugs, the documentation is sparse, and it lacks some features that we need. Right now the Anjuta guys are maintaining it, and I'm submitting patches, and other people seem to be contributing to it from time to time.
I notice that Inkscape uses it's own forked version of GDL. I don't know who's maintaining that code, but can I suggest that someone take some time to try and move over to using the shared library? The Anjuta guys are very helpful, and seem happy to accept all kinds of patches, including feature additions, so there shouldn't be too many political problems in merging.
If you can merge over, then Inkscape, Anjuta, and Lumiera will all benefit from shared maintenance of the code. The flip side is that I'm squashing bugs, and I'd like Inkscape to benefit from my work!
Is this going to be possible, do you think?
Best Regards Joel
