Six months later, I come back to advogato. I don't expect this post will have a quick followup, but at least people will know I'm not totally dead :)

I'll be free of exams on Wednesday, at long last. I've been in exam-mode for nearly 2 months, and it's exhausting. The good thing is that I've done a lot better than normally, so far. We'll see how it ends.

Free Software:

Nano's author, Chris Allegretta is more busy than ever and cannot dedicate much time to nano. Luckily, David & David & Carl and the rest of the nano-devel people have filled in the gap and development continues at a good pace. Neil Spring finally took over wmbiff's management "officially", and things are much better like this. It is up to version 0.4.5 and constantly updated to gnuTLS changes. XQF just released 0.9.9, after 6 months. That development is a bit stalled. It's a pity... it's a very nice program. Any Quakers around who hack Gtk+2? XQF could use some porting effort :) GNOME-Mud also had a very recent release, hopefully the last GNOME 1.0-based. GNOME2 porting has already started, and it looks promising. It looks like more and more people are keeping an eye on it. Finally, gtetrinet got i18n support at last, and hadess will probably start a GNOME2 port.

Oh, I also contributed very significantly to get Catalan translations up to 91% for the GNOME 2.0.0 release. Aiming for 100% in GNOME 2.0.1. It shouldn't be difficult.

Nice to see Advogato is still active and well. I'll try to follow it more regularly, as before...
