Dear AbiWord developers,
at last I've found a student who's going to bonobo-ize gtkmathview, my
widget for MathML rendering/editing. Among the several advantages of
making a component out of the widget is the possibility of using it in
AbiWord for rendering math fragments. I had a discussion on this with
Martin a long time ago, but none of us ever had the time and resources
to invest on this, until now.
I've been collecting info on bonobo in the last few days, and have to
say the situation is rather confusing (to me). Most of the documentation
seems to be out-of-date, and there's no list of gtk widgets already
bonobo-ized that we could take as examples of "good practice". I found
ggv which seems to be very well done. Apart from that, it's not clear
how many of the several neat features of bonobo are really
implemented/implementable, and how many are just cool things written in
an HTML page. Now, given that bonobo support has been investigated in
AbiWord, I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to proceed
so that the development would eventually converge into something that
can be effectively usable. What are the bonobo interfaces we are
supposed to implement? What is the most valuable source of information
for bonobo-related things that you have studied or at least taken into
account?
I will contact shortly the guys on the gnome-components m.l. with
similar questions, I basically wanted to let you know that something is
happening.
Yours,
