Re: [gnome-love] Getting Involved - Looking for volunteers

["Kevin Vandersloot" <kfv101 psu edu>]

Hi Phil and everyone else who wants to do something easy for GNOME!

So I have an easy task for anyone to do. Right now gweather for GNOME2 doesn't
do well trying to get radar maps for US cities. The url that the radar maps is
downloaded from is 

http://image.weather.com/web/radar/us_%s_closeradar_medium_usen.jpg

where %s is a three letter designation of the city. For Pittsburgh it is pit.

To determine what code should be used for what city go to weather.com and enter in a city. If you right clikc 
on the radar map it will display the image name
(at least it does with Galeon) which will contain the city code.

Now do a cvs co of gnome-applets ("cvs co gnome-applets"). Put this city code as the last argument in the 
Locations file. Now make a patch for your changes by
issuing the following comand:

cvs diff -u5 ./ > mystate.patch

What I would like is for courageuos volunteers to do this for all the cities in their favorite state that 
gweather supports. I've opened a bug report so
volunteers can attach their patches to the bug report:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76857

So I would be greatly appreciative for anything contributed. This would greatly improve the gweather applet 
for GNOME2 :)

Best wishes,
Kevin
