Re: Interested in expanding Dasher for use with an IDE to program



Christophe,

Perhaps you are confusing Dasher with OpenGazer...

Even though Dasher is available under GPL version 2 and you can download
the source code, it has not been released on a public project hosting
site
(GitHub, SourceForge and the like).
Sorry, but I think that you are wrong. Dasher is currently hosted at
gnome git repository:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/dasher
Funny, I completely missed that.

That is not because the developers did
not want to release it that way, but because many open source projects
simply never receive contributions from outsiders except for
translations.
If you want to contribute to the code, I recommend that you contact
David
Mackay at the University of Cambridge. See
<http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/Download.html> and
<http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/mackay/Contact.html>.
You can also contribute with Dasher using gnome tools, for example,
there are a dasher component on gnome bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=dasher
