Re: New Blueprints

 

With regards to the spell checking:
I was using "gtk-spell" which is available in the gnome-python-extras
package (documentation here:
http://www.pygtk.org/pygtkspell/class-gtkspell.html ). The issue was that
gtk-spell is based on a text-view (gtksourceview works just fine) but when
that text-view has multiple buffers associated with it, an error kicks in.

Just branched it and I don't get an error posted in the terminal
anymore...The spell checking doesn't work though with more than one buffer.
I will read up and see if there is anything that can be changed.

The printing:
I read up on that a while ago and it seemed fairly simple to implement, it
would just be a relatively fiddly thing to put together.

Visual Identity:
Marc Carson posted some good website mocks/logos a while ago in launchpad:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/pyroom/+bug/193589 . Additionally he is a
website designer so his help could come in handy....

Physcho:
The potential issue with that is that it is slightly more demanding on the
memory. Then again, in pyroom, what will the user be doing that requires a
lot of memory?

That will do for now :-) Time to experience the joy of searching through
documentaion...

btw, thanks for all the work your doing for the project right now Caio and
Nathan, the rest of us are just slacking...
Cheers,
Adam
