Hi Johann My python work is here https://github.com/rwortham/Instinct/tree/master/extras Details also here http://www.robwortham.com/instinct-planner/ Cheers Rob From: dia-list [mailto:dia-list-bounces gnome org] On Behalf Of Johann Tienhaara Hi Rob and Randy, From the changelog (https://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/log/), there is certainly a little bit of work going on in Dia: Age Commit message (Expand) Author It looks like there is also a 0.97.3, though it is not prominent on any of the web pages: (I have not used it myself.) Rob, what kinds of extensions have you built? Can you share the source code and/or contribute to the project? I would love to see a more active Dia development community, even though it is a very stable piece of software. But since I'm not likely to have time to contribute code or documentation or etc any time soon, I would argue that me asking "are you people still working on Dia?" isn't an entirely fair question. To me a fair question would be more like "Is there something I can do to contribute?" or "hey I've got this great idea, here's a patch / some documentation / a plugin / etc" or maybe even "can I fund the development of feature XYZ?". Don't get me wrong, I know what it's like to be a downstream developer and user and to feel forgotten. When a commercial software provider slows down work on a product, there's not much you can do; whereas there *are* things you can do to help revitalize a free software project. Philosophy aside, Dia looks to me to be evolving -- albeit slowly, since it is a mature and very stable piece of software. $0.02, Johann From: Rob Wortham <r h wortham gmail com>
