[Weekly report] Week 6: Seed+Clutter GNOME Games

["Timothy P. Horton" <hortont424 gmail com>]

Wot!? It's already week 6? Well - this week was quieter on the games  
front, mostly because I was getting Seed to a place where I'm  
comfortable making a release on my own. Hacking on documentation, the  
build system, finishing up the gettext module, fixing up various small  
bits in libseed, etc.

* I just started (and will finish tonight) my midterm evaluation.

* Seed 0.8.5 will (as long as Robb doesn't object) be out on Wednesday  
with massively revised documentation, and (barring disaster) will be  
the minimum version depended upon by my games by the end of the summer.

* Took two days (in between lots of seed work) to make a 4-line fix to  
LO to make it work with the latest Clutter+Gtk. It sounds like that  
was the last chunk of breakage for a good while, so I should have no  
more puzzles like that to solve...

* Restored the part of libgames-support I had to remove in order to  
get it introspecting, wrapped in a #ifdef for the gir scanner.

* Reorganized LO source into something resembling structure.

* Mostly finalized the new Same's gtk component. This isn't pushed yet  
because that machine has no 'net connection. Should be up tonight or  
tomorrow.

* Fought with xgettext a little, but the only lead I've gotten is to  
use double quotes for translatable strings and single quotes for  
untranslatable ones, but that *disgusts* me, so I'm hoping to stumble  
across a better solution, perhaps from someone who actually knows  
what's going on with i18n stuff.
