Hi all, This is a patch that adds support for the following in the Gnome Summaries. <translation-stats> <language rank="1." translated="100.00" changed="0.25">Polish</language> <language rank="2." translated="99.99" changed="1.03">Czech</language> ... </translation-stats> I'll submit this kind of data on time automatically (it's mostly ready, I just need to add a crontab entry for it to happen automatically), and I may even commit them myself into CVS. (<translation-stats> goes last, before <apps> if they're present.) So, you may notice that this is all mostly preformatted, but since I've already have a program doing most of the work, I thought it'd be wiser (and faster) not to have read all of XSLT specification just to get this to work (i.e. a rank should probably be ommitted, but it's easier this way). The HTML and TXT output are provided for the sample summary of February 8th–14th (XML, HTML, TXT). HTML output leaves much to be desired, but I'll tackle it later on, once the "infrastructure" is in place. I need also to update DTD so we may keep using xmllint for checking validity. TXT output may also be problematic, because I use tabs for lining stuff up. Any comments on both HTML output and TXT output are welcome (comments on XSLT crap I created are welcome as well, but that's understood, I hope :). If no problems spotted, I'll commit it later on. Cheers, Danilo

<title> Release Update/Schedule Slip</title>
<text>
<para>
Jeff Waugh, release coordinator for the GNOME releases gives us an update on the current
GNOME release schedule. The schedule has been updated to take into account a two week slip
in our release schedule due to a less than stellar test release dependability and waiting
on a stable release of GTK+. Owen and the GTK+ team will be meeting next week to discuss
the GTK+ schedule and the GNOME release schedule - which will be adapted to accommodate
whatever plans become known from that meeting.
</para>
<para>
Jeff states besides that, things are looking pretty solid, and the bug squad team has been
doing a damn good job of applying bug spray to GNOME bugs. Jeff also notes that none of
the freeze dates have changed due to the slip.

<title> Appreciating the polish of GNOME </title>
<text>
<para>
One of the big plus points of GNOME is that a lot of attention is paid to even the most
minute detail, resulting in a highly polished and integrated system. Steven Garrity takes
a look at some of the small "GUI perks" of GNOME, and points out some of the areas
where GNOME goes beyond Windows XP or Mac OS X in terms of polish and overall
integration.

<title> Gcalctool - The Next Generation </title>
<text>
<para>
Gcalctool has been receiving a lot of love from Sami Pietila as of late. He's been working on
improving Gcalctool by fixing some of it's limitations. Namely, he's been working on
handling arithmetic operator precedence, adding expression parsing, and
better handling of incorrect syntax of user input. Eventually this will lead to Gcalctool
being able to use reverse polish notation (RPN). These are features that users have been
requesting and now Sami is making them into a reality!
</para>
<para>
Gcalctool-ng is still a work in progress, and is currently being worked on in a separate CVS
branch. You can obtain it through CVS by cvs co -r gcalctool-ng gcalctool. You can also
get a tarball as well. Look in the links session.
</para>
<para>
The team would like feedback on the changes to Galctool-ng. So if you have a couple of moments
to check out the tool please send some feedback to the team so they can continue making Gcalctool
a superior tool for when you need to do calculations.

Federico Mena Quintero, the maintainer of GtkFileChooser, GTK's new
file dialog box, sent out a public service announcement stating that he
has fixed an important bug that set the dialog size too small.
People added their own calls to gtk_window_set_default_size()
to get around this problem. Federico requests that you no longer
need to set your default size and you should remove it from your
code.

Jeff has unleashed the latest development release of GNOME. Please help test and more importantly, file bugs against this release. Remember this is a development release of GNOME and is not considered to be stable.
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-February/msg00337.html
Jeff Waugh, release coordinator for the GNOME releases gives us an update on the current GNOME release schedule. The schedule has been updated to take into account a two week slip in our release schedule due to a less than stellar test release dependability and waiting on a stable release of GTK+. Owen and the GTK+ team will be meeting next week to discuss the GTK+ schedule and the GNOME release schedule - which will be adapted to accommodate whatever plans become known from that meeting.
Jeff states besides that, things are looking pretty solid, and the bug squad team has been doing a damn good job of applying bug spray to GNOME bugs. Jeff also notes that none of the freeze dates have changed due to the slip.
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-February/msg00322.html
Malcolm Tredinnick, a GNOME Foundation Board Member has been maintaining a list of conferences that would be ideal to have GNOME represented at. Malcolm is interested in getting a complete list of conferences. So if you have a conference that you think GNOME should be represented at. Please contact Malcolm directly and send in your suggestion.
In the future there will be a place at www.gnome.org that we can place all of the conference listings that will have or need GNOME representatives. You're input will help make the list more accurate.

One of the big plus points of GNOME is that a lot of attention is paid to even the most minute detail, resulting in a highly polished and integrated system. Steven Garrity takes a look at some of the small "GUI perks" of GNOME, and points out some of the areas where GNOME goes beyond Windows XP or Mac OS X in terms of polish and overall integration.

Evolution 1.5 now properly displays what takes place while you drag folders, messages and other things around - and it looks really nifty.
There have been other updates in Evolution too especially in the documentation section and mailer part, where there has been a lot of bug fixes. Use the version from CVS if you are facing stability issues with version 1.5.3.

Edd Dumbill recently hacked BlueFOAF to talk to Dashboard. BlueFOAF discovers the people nearby, parses the FOAF information from them for useful stuff and sends it to Dashboard.

Do you use GNOME in your daily activities? At work? At home? Have you had the experience of having somebody else look at your nice GNOME desktop and ask about it? If so, and you would like to share your experiences, please write to us.
We are trying to collect stories and testimonials from everyday GNOME users that will help to encourage our developers, documenters, testers and artists. These can also be useful in encouraging wider adoption of GNOME - people generally will use what others are using.
Contributions can be attributed to the author or anonymous. If you don't mind them being used for other publicity purposes, please let us know that too. We will publish all reasonable submissions over time in the weekly GNOME summaries.
Please send your GNOME success stories to gnome-summary gnome org
Please note, that your submissions will be tagged with the Creative Commons License by default. The stories will be displayed on GNOME Summary on a week-to-week basis.
Arturo Gonzalez has written a first draft of "GNOME aplets with Python Tutorial" is available. This is a great way of using Python to create some quick applets to do any number of things. If you have any comments, criticisms, and features regarding the tutorial, please contact Arturo.

Gcalctool has been receiving a lot of love from Sami Pietila as of late. He's been working on improving Gcalctool by fixing some of it's limitations. Namely, he's been working on handling arithmetic operator precedence, adding _expression_ parsing, and better handling of incorrect syntax of user input. Eventually this will lead to Gcalctool being able to use reverse polish notation (RPN). These are features that users have been requesting and now Sami is making them into a reality!
Gcalctool-ng is still a work in progress, and is currently being worked on in a separate CVS branch. You can obtain it through CVS by cvs co -r gcalctool-ng gcalctool. You can also get a tarball as well. Look in the links session.
The team would like feedback on the changes to Galctool-ng. So if you have a couple of moments to check out the tool please send some feedback to the team so they can continue making Gcalctool a superior tool for when you need to do calculations.

Federico Mena Quintero, the maintainer of GtkFileChooser, GTK's new file dialog box, sent out a public service announcement stating that he has fixed an important bug that set the dialog size too small. People added their own calls to gtk_window_set_default_size() to get around this problem. Federico requests that you no longer need to set your default size and you should remove it from your code.
Glynn Foster sent out mail regarding GNOME presentation materials. Those of you who are planning on participating in a conference and want to present talks or tutorails now have the opportunity to build on the work of others! Sevearl presentations are already available. So if there's a conference coming up and you want to help promote GNOME, this is the place to go.
Reciprocally, if you have presentations that you would like to share with others, please mail marketing-list gnome org with the URL of the location of your presentation. Language is no bar, the foundation board will accept any presentation.
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-February/msg00296.html
Matthias Clasen has put in some work to update the GNOME Developer API docs to include all of the libraries that are part of the GNOME developer platform. Documentation, especially of the core API, is an important factor in GNOME adoption. Thanks Matthias!
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-February/msg00186.html
Alvaro Pena has been busily working on a file sharing add-on for Nautilus. The technology currently will use Apache or some other supported web server if it's installed on the system. It's an interesting feature and if you are interested in contributing or in giving some feedback on the current implementation, please join the gnome-network mailing list and participate!
The file-sharing Nautilus extension is available in GNOME CVS under the gnome-sharing module.
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-February/msg00183.html
Daniel Stone, release coordinator of freedesktop.org has set up a mailing list on discussing the fd.o platform. If you're interested please think of joining. Daniel sent this out last week and it was not covered in the GNOME Summary and decided it would be mentioned this week.
A new version of Inkscape was released today. Inkscape includes many major features, bug fixes and an extensive code base clean up. Some of these includes, an SVG viewer, letter spacing, path outlining and many more! Also a tutorial for new users is included. Download and let Inkscape folks know whats going on. Looking at the screenshots, the HIG work looks nice.
Inkscape is an open source SVG editor with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, Visio, etc.

4. Appreciating the polish of GNOME
--------------------------------------------------------------
One of the big plus points of GNOME is that a lot of attention is paid to even
the most minute detail, resulting in a highly polished and integrated system.
Steven Garrity takes a look at some of the small "GUI perks" of GNOME, and
points out some of the areas where GNOME goes beyond Windows XP or Mac OS X in
terms of polish and overall integration.

5. Evolution 1.5 Updates
--------------------------------------------------------------
Evolution 1.5 now properly displays what takes place while you drag folders,
messages and other things around - and it looks really nifty.
There have been other updates in Evolution too especially in the documentation
section and mailer part, where there has been a lot of bug fixes. Use the
version from CVS if you are facing stability issues with version 1.5.3.

6. BlueFOAF and Dashboard
--------------------------------------------------------------
Edd Dumbill recently hacked BlueFOAF to talk to Dashboard. BlueFOAF discovers
the people nearby, parses the FOAF information from them for useful stuff and
sends it to Dashboard.

7. You're GNOME Experience is valuable to us!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Do you use GNOME in your daily activities? At work? At home? Have you had the
experience of having somebody else look at your nice GNOME desktop and ask
about it? If so, and you would like to share your experiences, please write to
us.
We are trying to collect stories and testimonials from everyday GNOME users
that will help to encourage our developers, documenters, testers and artists.
These can also be useful in encouraging wider adoption of GNOME - people
generally will use what others are using.
Contributions can be attributed to the author or anonymous. If you don't mind
them being used for other publicity purposes, please let us know that too. We
will publish all reasonable submissions over time in the weekly GNOME
summaries.
Please send your GNOME success stories to gnome-summary gnome org
Please note, that your submissions will be tagged with the Creative Commons
License by default. The stories will be displayed on GNOME Summary on a
week-to-week basis.

8. Writing Gnome Applets using Python Tutorial
--------------------------------------------------------------
Arturo Gonzalez has written a first draft of "GNOME aplets with Python
Tutorial" is available. This is a great way of using Python to create some
quick applets to do any number of things. If you have any comments, criticisms,
and features regarding the tutorial, please contact Arturo.

9. Gcalctool - The Next Generation
--------------------------------------------------------------
Gcalctool has been receiving a lot of love from Sami Pietila as of late. He's
been working on improving Gcalctool by fixing some of it's limitations. Namely,
he's been working on handling arithmetic operator precedence, adding expression
parsing, and better handling of incorrect syntax of user input. Eventually this
will lead to Gcalctool being able to use reverse polish notation (RPN). These
are features that users have been requesting and now Sami is making them into a
reality!
Gcalctool-ng is still a work in progress, and is currently being worked on in a
separate CVS branch. You can obtain it through CVS by cvs co -r gcalctool-ng
gcalctool. You can also get a tarball as well. Look in the links session.
The team would like feedback on the changes to Galctool-ng. So if you have a
couple of moments to check out the tool please send some feedback to the team
so they can continue making Gcalctool a superior tool for when you need to do
calculations.

==============================================================
10. GtkFileChooserDialog now sets its size correctly
--------------------------------------------------------------
Federico Mena Quintero, the maintainer of GtkFileChooser, GTK's new file dialog
box, sent out a public service announcement stating that he has fixed an
important bug that set the dialog size too small. People added their own calls
to gtk_window_set_default_size() to get around this problem. Federico requests
that you no longer need to set your default size and you should remove it from
your code.
==============================================================
11. GNOME Presentation Materials
--------------------------------------------------------------
Glynn Foster sent out mail regarding GNOME presentation materials. Those of you
who are planning on participating in a conference and want to present talks or
tutorails now have the opportunity to build on the work of others! Sevearl
presentations are already available. So if there's a conference coming up and
you want to help promote GNOME, this is the place to go.
Reciprocally, if you have presentations that you would like to share with
others, please mail marketing-list gnome org with the URL of the location of
your presentation. Language is no bar, the foundation board will accept any
presentation.

12. GNOME Developer Platform API Docs Updated
--------------------------------------------------------------
Matthias Clasen has put in some work to update the GNOME Developer API docs to
include all of the libraries that are part of the GNOME developer platform.
Documentation, especially of the core API, is an important factor in GNOME
adoption. Thanks Matthias!
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-February/msg00186.html
==============================================================
13. GNOME file sharing
--------------------------------------------------------------
Alvaro Pena has been busily working on a file sharing add-on for Nautilus. The
technology currently will use Apache or some other supported web server if it's
installed on the system. It's an interesting feature and if you are interested
in contributing or in giving some feedback on the current implementation,
please join the gnome-network mailing list and participate!
The file-sharing Nautilus extension is available in GNOME CVS under the
gnome-sharing module.

14. Freedesktop.org Platform Mailing List
--------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel Stone, release coordinator of freedesktop.org has set up a mailing list
on discussing the fd.o platform. If you're interested please think of joining.
Daniel sent this out last week and it was not covered in the GNOME Summary and
decided it would be mentioned this week.
==============================================================
15. Inkscape 0.37 Release
--------------------------------------------------------------
A new version of Inkscape was released today. Inkscape includes many major
features, bug fixes and an extensive code base clean up. Some of these
includes, an SVG viewer, letter spacing, path outlining and many more! Also a
tutorial for new users is included. Download and let Inkscape folks know whats
going on. Looking at the screenshots, the HIG work looks nice.
