guppiCan I help?

["Andrew H. Chatham" <andrew chatham duke edu>]

Hi, I was wondering if there was anything I could work on for guppi. The
ChangeLog and the last message in the archive make it look like this is mostly
a 1-man (or possibly 2-man) show, so if things are in too much flux right now
or you want to keep it small, I understand. But if you're looking for some
help, I'd like to give it a try.

I worked on the multiple regression support in gnumeric, but I doubt guppi
needs multiple regressions (right?). I'm not intimate with the newer GNOME
technologies, so don't expect me to implement the Bonobo interface or anything,
but what I lack in skill I make up for with free time! (I'm not a bad coder in
general, though). Is there anything I could work on? Guppi seems to lack a
TODO, which may be because it's all in your head(s).

I guess for starters, a _really_ simple patch that moves the two lines that
create the splash screen so they're after the arguments are parsed. This way
"guppi --help" doesn't produce a splash screen (or does it just do that for
me?)

Andrew
