Re: [gDesklets] Is development still active?

[Ronny Lorenz <raumzeit gmx net>]

Hi,

I'm also still using gdesklets despite no active development within the
last years (ArchLinux with some minor patches in the gdesklets source
tree). It's sad that this nice piece of software is not actively
developed anymore, but I've only little time too. I once started an
attempt to convert everything from pyGTK to PyGObject since pyGTK is
deprecated, but I do not posess a complete enough overview of the
architecture of gdesklets. Thats why I never continued working on it...

Nevertheless, the original source is available through bazar on
launchpad. I also created a github project a while ago where I imported
the bazar project as the master branch.
You can find both here:

https://launchpad.net/gdesklets

https://github.com/RaumZeit/gdesklets-core

Best,

Ronny

P.S.: It would be nice seeing this software under development again, I
would even volunteer to contribute. But from my current perspective, I
don't even know whether a conversion to pyGObject or a 'from scratch'
implementation would be more adequate.
