Re: Further dev work?

[Evan <eapache gmail com>]

I know it's fairly stable, but it's getting out-dated. I've heard various ideas being kicked around that I think are necessary but that haven't gotten any work:

• migrate from the visor module (deprecated) to hal in order to support newer devices while maintaining support for older ones
  
• prevent installation of non-prc/pdb files, as they cause errors and lock-ups (this should be really easy?)
• automatically wrap pictures in pdb containers to make them readable by splash-photo (somebody has already written a program to do this and released it under the mozilla licence, just requires some integration)
• run an auto-detect to determine which device, connection speed, etc. to use rather than making the user enter it manually (should be easier when hal migration is complete)
  

I can program in java and .net and I'd be willing to learn c++ or whatever to implement some of these, but I don't know where to begin.

Hi Evan,

gnome-pilot itself is pretty stable.  Most of the updates occur in the
evolution source tree, as that's where the Evolution conduits reside.

As it happens, I'm taking a look at the gnome-pilot code at the moment
with a view to adding in Bluetooth support.  More on that anon.
