[Straw] Introduction, list testing and a small patch :-)



Hello!

I'm DrFrasierCrane from IRC, I've been on #straw a few times lately.
Now I subscribed to a mailing list, because as it turns out it's hard
to synchronize time zones on IRC :-)

Anyway, as I told janm, I would like to contribute to Straw, I have
many ideas and really good motivation for working on this project -
first, I need good RSS reader on my desktop :-) Second - I'm learning
Python just for a month or two now and I want to improve.

Your TODO covers some of the things I wanted to do, for example
categories are very important and I see that some work has been done.
Here's what I would like to focus on specifically:

- polishing the UI - applying some HIG (probably GNOME Human Interface
Guidelines 2.0) to dialogs, menus and tray icon

- usability and reponsivness - clear status and error reporting,
removing UI freezing effect

After that I can work on some new features. Now, I don't know how you
guys (and gals? ;-) keep track of who's doing what. Jan mentioned
yesterday that I could try to finish some categories-related stuff -
does this offer still stand?

Some questions:

1. When do you plan to release 0.28?
2. Have you considered using Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) for
project management stuff (assigning tasks, tracking miletones, maybe
even migrating bug tracker)? I could provide hosting if needed, I use
Trac in my other open-source project on a dedicated server where I
could easily setup another Trac instance.

Oh, I attach a small patch - fixed a typo in a comment :-)
