Re: The Language Issue

 

I think we are settled then, let's go with Python. So, next step, we need
to create a Bazaar branch to work on and then start hacking. Can anyone of
the Python-saavy people create the initial structure for the project (I
wouldn't know how to do it). When we have that I can contribute the
configuration files I already created (.lens and dbus-services) since those
should be pretty much the same.

Regards.
