Heh, as always I'll mention Palatina (http://palatina.gnostai.org/) which I started in order to build-in better design, testing and developer documentation "from the ground floor". It progresses in fits and starts, but someone studying and using the code would be helpful. As for studying Alexandria - it might be useful for the next few 0.6.x bugfix releases, but I really had planned to throw out a lot of that code and replace it with stuff from Palatina (and a new GUI based on TrackerGUI - http://palatina.gnostai.org/wiki/TrackerGUI). - C. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: GnuPT 2.6.2.1 by EQUIPMENTE.DE iEYEARECAAYFAktCVk8ACgkQfMAUnRdb+8qQiACgzWIZ1jSnS8mi+59j9Nwp0Hat K+cAoLUoxxv9d7ga3FLYU5gyNFez/Y7b =4bdD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From bdewey at gmail.com Mon Jan 4 16:17:11 2010 From: bdewey at gmail.com (Brian Dewey) Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2010 13:17:11 -0800 Subject: [Alexandria-list] Proposed patch: Speed up initial list-view views In-Reply-To: <20100104205751.76821fe5@jadzia> References: <915a6c191001030218g5977210bsd2be801c252e00a9@mail.gmail.com> <20100103210745.5d0701d8@jadzia> <915a6c191001032218mf6e3b02hcbe3d4b5d6abe1cc@mail.gmail.com> <20100104205751.76821fe5@jadzia> Message-ID: <915a6c191001041317g76b1739aieffe6c96dbcfa67a@mail.gmail.com> I like the idea of starting with Palatina first.
