Re: Wanting To Help With Development
Mark
I think the first thing to do is to get into the code and start
playing around.
You haven't mentioned if you have managed to build Seashore yet, so
that may well be your first challenge. If you have difficulties,
please write to this group and we'll try to help you out. Remember to
use anonymous SVN so you have the latest version of the code.
To familiarize yourself with the codebase I suggest you build a plug-
in. To do this make a copy of "seashore/Plug-ins/Sepia", remove the
".svn" directory inside the copy (using Terminal.app; if you don't
remove it, it will confuse SVN) and then title it something
appropriate. I would suggest that this plug-in just rotate the primary
colours so the red channel becomes the blue channel, the green the red
channel and the blue the green channel. Once you have something you
think might work, try to add this plug-in to the Seashore project. E-
mail us if you have problems.
To update the project's situation, I have been away from the project
for two months but I have decided I will probably jump back into
Seashore. I knew I was going to be away two months ago so I tried to
push out the 0.2.0 release before I left. This didn't happen and as a
result we are still in "feature lock" pending the 0.2.0 release, which
I now want to try and get out the door ASAP (hence the terse e-mail).
Welcome again.
Mark.

if not, there are a couple of prebuilt packages floating around, like
this one:
http://www.codingmonkeys.de/mbo/
on a side note:
nice to see the project picking up again!
was worried it was getting a little quiet there. :)
one request: can the tabbing get fixed in the custom aspect ratio
dialogue for 0.2 release?

Terminal.app and you must install SVN yourself (see minus0's e-mail).
The exact syntax to fetch the project from SVN is (as fetched from
http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=71670):
svn co https://seashore.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/seashore seashore
The website was recently rennovated for the 0.2.0 release. So I'm not
sure about rennovating it again.

Mark.
