I just got a posting from Aneesh. He has given up on the GTK3 porting, but he did post patches for two examples. I think the problem is that there are too many samples to port to make a good GCC task. I didn't realize that they get credit based on number of tasks completed when I wrote mine up. To make it a better deal for Aneesh we can do a couple of things:<br>
<br>1). We don't need <i>every </i>example to be ported. The two he did plus one more that includes toolbars (Maybe Sugar Commander, because that uses a fair amount of GTK) could be one task. We leave the others as exercises for the student).<br>
<br>2). Writing the chapter on how to do it could be a second task.<br><br>James Simmons<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 1:55 PM, James Simmons <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nicestep@gmail.com" target="_blank">nicestep@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>I also wanted code samples to be in the Git repository, assuming that the student is familiar with Git as Aneesh obviously is. Otherwise they can put them in a Zip file and I'll get them into Git myself.<br>
<br>I'd update the task descriptions to mention this but I don't have the authority.<br><br>I'm thinking that we might split up Aneesh's task into two:<br><br>1). Port stuff to GTK3.<br><br>2). Write chapter on what you did.<br>
<br>That way Aneesh could get credit for two tasks, plush credit as an author.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br>James Simmons</font></span><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Which two mentees? On which two tasks?<br>
<br>
<br>
I think this one is waiting for your review.<br>
