GSoC and future

Hi all, it’s been a bit of time from the last post, fortunately there are some good news for you.

The first news is that i was chosen to work on the services kit for GSoC, the project is far from my focus, that is media software, and it relate in particular the Web 2.0. You can read more about it in my blog entry in the official Haiku site :

The next step after gsoc, will be to integrate Caya with this API.

Another good news is the availability of a yahoo plugin for Caya (http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects/caya-gpl-protocols/repository/entry/trunk/protocols/yahoo), this is a resurrection of the old plugin from im_kit updated to support Caya and use the last libyahoo2 version. It’s stable and working but stil need some polishment, and i’m trying to find a mantainer since i have not time and personal interest to make the needed modifies and include Yahoo in the official Caya release. So if you are a dev interested in yahoo…contact me there’s not complex work to do ATM.

Said that, i will be busy in the next months, but dak seems interested during the summer to work on some parts of the future StilNovo media suite, in fact we are interested in keeping a old software (i don’t want to cite, look at Haikuware’s forum for more infos)  that is currently unmantained and abandoned. It is a media editor with audio/video and MIDI capabilities.
