[tasque-list] Authenticated Proxy

[Andy Pastuszak]

Hello,

I've been using Tasque at home on Linux with the Remember The Milk
backend, and am quite happy with it. I love the way it sits in your
gnome panel.

So I downloaded Tasque for Windows at work and set it up. The only
problem I have is that we use an authenticated squid proxy for
Internet Access at work. Is there any way to get Tasque for Windows
to work through an authenticated proxy?

I don't personally know of any solution here (there could be, I just
don't know), but proxy settings in Tasque are a popular feature
request, so patches would be very welcome.

Sadly, my coding experience is insignificant. I can do a little perl
for some system administration and that's about it.

Is there anyone working on this app on a regular basis? I know it was
started at Novell's hackweek, but having something like this in Gnome
would make the desktop all that much more productive.

Nobody works on Tasque on a regular basis. Brian Merrell and I are
the current maintainers, but neither of us have had much time for
Tasque lately, sadly. I don't think I've worked on Tasque in over six
months. There are two or three patches pending review in bugzilla,
and an experimental offline caching branch in git, but otherwise not a
lot of activity lately. Some motivated developers with a bit of free
time could easily turn this trend around.

So what's it take to go from perl scripter to Mono developer? Can you
recommend some references that I might want to read?

I don't know how much time I have to dedicate, but I'd like to at
least read up on something besides Perl.

Andy,

I recommend getting an O'Reilly book on C#, and then just finding
something simple you want to fix in a C# app, and fixing it. :-) The
only way to learn code is to write code, whether it's your own little
test apps, or patching existing software.

You can usually find me in #tasque on GIMPNet, so if you need any help
getting started, ping me.

This page might also help you get started with Tasque specifically:

Hope this helps,
Sandy
