Gonzalo,<br><br>I had originally had translating the new materials as a GCI task, but it looks like that is something GCI did not want. However, I did not forget the need to have the new stuff translated. What I was thinking is that I would publish the new stuff to the website only at first. When the changes reach a critical mass then I'll publish a new book on Create Space with a new ISBN, etc. and remove the old one from the distribution channels. I'll also send printed copies to the guest chapter authors.<br>
<br>The printed book refers to the website, so it's OK for the website to have more current content than the latest printed book. The printed books aren't selling all that well in any case.<br><br>As new content is added to the published book on the web I'll send announcements to the lists. We might have an easier time getting translators once GCI is over with.<br>

He has been working on the GTK2->GTK3 task for Google code-in and one of the examples in the book is a simplified version of the Chat Activity which uses Hippo Canvas. It is the <b>only </b>example in the book that does, and it only does that because I just stripped down the existing Chat Activity to create it. I was writing a chapter on how to make Activities collaborate and I needed a simplified Chat to do that.<br>
<br>I understand that we don't want to use Hippo Canvas any more, but I think rewriting the whole UI for Chat is more than I expected Aneesh to do for this particular task. Actually, if you were going to do that it would make sense to do it in the GTK2 version so neither one had any Hippo in it. I would suggest that doing this could be a task itself, and the person doing it would have the option of writing a new guest chapter with tips on replacing Hippo Canvas with regular GTK components.<br>
<br>I'm interested in everyone's thoughts on this.<br><br>James Simmons<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername"></b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:no-reply@google-melange.appspotmail.com" target="_blank">no-reply@google-melange.appspotmail.com</a>></span><br>

</p><p>Hello James,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am midway in porting the Mini Chat to gtk3, Its taking a lot of time because I basically have to remake the application's whole UI (because it uses hippo) and we don't support hippo anymore.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am trying my level best and would like some more time for it. (Atleast 24 hours more)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Aneesh</p>
