Hi, Julian suggested a new template without using the word 'template', so here it is. Now it uses "HelloWorld" as a project name and it can be easily changed using the script 'set_project_name.sh'. For example, to create a new application named 'sky': - Decompress the template - mv helloworld sk

Hi, Thanks to Julien's proposal I have created and "empty" project template (the one attached it to this email). I hope it helps someone to begin with new projects. This project uses the word "template" not only in filenames but also inside files. In the project there is one script named 'set_pr

Hi, Here are more ideas: - Do not mix threads with async methods, sometimes GUI is fluid with async and threads are not necessary. Maybe both concepts are interesting for your research. - Pantheon-files has parallelizing problems with thumbnails and top navigation bar animations (I am not sure i

You can find non Vala applications at the software center, you can sell applications written in "whatever" language as long as they run properly. It is just that you application won't benefit of the Elementary + Granite + Vala ecosystem. It will probably look ugly and less appealing to your pot

In my opinion blessing other languages will create fragmentation. Developers from one application won't be able to help other applications because of the different language. We have a lot of examples, pantheon-files is one of them but also external libraries that doesn't really fit. On A

I like the idea of a "semi" rolling release. Software like "Geary" or "Files" can't be frozen during the whole next cycle, can you imagine not receiving the "search mail" update until Luna+1? Right now I don't feel like Elementary is Beta, yes there are bugs that must be fixed, but it is great to
