Searching for a Sudoku client to put into GNOME-games

["Corey Burger" <corey burger gmail com>]

Hey Thomas, Xose and Chris,

As part of a general plan to revitalize the GNOME-games package, I am
seeking out good implementations of the Sudoku game for potential
inclusion in GNOME 2.18, due to be released in March 2007. I think the
three of you all have versions of Sudoku that are interesting to us.

The three different projects are:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnome-sudoku/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythonsudoku/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sudoku-savant/

So what is involved in being part of GNOME-games? It is actually quite
easy. There are two major steps:

1. Get your code into GNOME cvs
2. Agree to help us release as part of the GNOME cycle, which is every
six months.

Unless I missed something blindingly obvious, I see no code reasons
why any of your three packages could not become the one.

If only one is going to make it, why I am emailing all three of you?
Part of my goal is also to encourage you to come work on GNOME-games
and even GNOME itself. While only one code base will eventually arrive
in CVS, I really hope that all three of you can arrive with it.

Which do I prefer? I really like the UI concepts behind Sudoku Savant,
but am also partial to Python, so that puts it in a bind. At the end
of the day, I am looking for a good sudoku game, regardless of
language. You should also not consider C++ to be a barrier to entry
(AFAIK)

So there we are. Fear not, we are closing in the 2.16 release, so you
have about a month to think about it and do the prep work.

One final note, for those who read GNOME-games, please keep the three
developers cc'ed, as I don't think they are subscribed to this list.

Yours,

Corey
