Then you have the wrong impression or didn't read everything. It was supposed to be just a single place where all information and progress would be collected. It was not at all my intend to somehow just get my name on there. Don't get me wrong. I can provide myself with all those requests bit not on the gnome site and i would have preferred that.

It's not blocking or holding the project.. but then it might just end up on a local repository to never get released simply because i leave it rot on my hdd. It would just, for me, be nice that something that i make (also for gnome) to be hosted on a oss project and gnome does seem to fit it. > > For what concerns the project itself, I don't like see people > duplicating efforts; as others already told you, I really can't see the > point of rush-writing a daemon that will be, in your own words, less > functional than something which is already widely used in two big > platforms and which has a well-defined spec many people already agreed > upon.

If it wasn't a school project i would have done exactly that. As said a few times. I can't take a step back. the projects outline is set and must be made now. And to all. Don't get me wrong! I do still want to make this project and have been doing thumbnail benchmarks for the last few months as a "startup" for the project. I do have ideas on how to make it better, faster and "cooler" and yes much of that is in tumbler (which i didn't know a few months ago). So, it seems this is going to be a project just for school with no interesting parts for tumbler, glib or gnome in general. I would have liked it seen different but learning a lot from this project is worth a lot as well. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
