You must be patient, two weeks are nothing. In other projects patches
may exist years without getting reviewed ;). Juergbi usually catches up
with patches before he releases a new version.


I have another hackathon idea: A documentation "hackathon". That's
something where everyone can help. For example, one thing that lacks
documentation are code attributes used for bindings ([CCode] et al.) --
a tutorial for writing bindings by hand. And there are still some
language features not documented in the tutorial (e.g. stack allocated
arrays, dynamic growth for dynamically allocated arrays, static
initialization, generic methods, hiding methods, inline methods, extern
methods). The "Working with Collections" section is still for libgee < 0.5.

The goal is that no one should be able to say "That was not mentioned in
the tutorial" any longer. :)

And some English mother-tongue speaker could look for grammar and
spelling mistakes in the tutorial and on other Vala wiki pages.


Best regards,
