<br>
In response to the inquiry for a maintainer to Referencer, a friend of<br>
mine and I would like to volunteer for co-maintainership, or what<br>
would fit best. We wrote a mail to John this Sunday but he seems to be<br>
busy. Since we have become aware that at least one other person is<br>
working on referencer* we have decided to send this mail to the list.<br>
<br>
We both have a background in computer science and have used Referencer<br>
extensively and expect to continue to use Referencer in our current<br>
work in the Department of Computer Science at Aalborg<br>
University(Denmark).<br>
<br>
To familiarise ourself with the code we have have made a few patches:<br>
* Fix some simple bugs ( <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/referencer/+bug/581811" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/referencer/+bug/581811</a> )<br>
* Scrolling to the current selection, when visibility changes.<br>
* Moved author string to same line as year in icon-view<br>
* Enhance the genkey plugin with title and first word of title<br>
* Start port to GIO/Gvfs<br>
* Do not store filename attribute to get clean diff's when storing<br>
the referencer file in a repository.<br>
<br>
If anyone is interested, you can checkout our hg branch (with most of<br>
the patches) at <a href="http://diverse.smartere.dk:8000/" target="_blank">http://diverse.smartere.dk:8000/</a><br>
<br>
Our future plans is to add the following features:<br>
* Better support for more reflibs, e.g. drag-and-drop between windows<br>
* Better support for collaborating, e.g. fancy Telepathy collaboration<br>
* Hierarchial tags<br>
<br>
Depending upon what other peoples plans are we have talked about<br>
moving the source repository to bzr in launchpad, as we are more<br>
familiar with bzr than hg and bugs and translations are already there.<br>
This would also allow us to easily create a PPA.<br>
<br>
Best regards Mads Chr. Olesen and Andreas E. Dalsgaard<br>
