PledgeBank ?

by Vincent Thomasset

Hi Jorge, What do you think of trying to raise some funds using pledgebank ? I know this is not really the type of funding you're expecting for Dillo, but it should be interesting to see if there's a response. Considering what recently happened to the nouveau project [1] (someone raised 1300+ 10$ donations in their name), if think it could be interesting to take the chance. On a related note, the FOSDEM will be held 5 minutes away from my place, i could drop some "Fund Dillo" posters there to get some publicity. What do you think ? Cheers, Vincent

It would be more interesting to find comments like: "Hmmm, a new Dillo, with FLTK2, I'm interested in joining the project!" If that happens don't hesitate to contact me. -- Cheers Jorge.-

The Dillo project is currently frozen. I'm expecting the vacation season in Germany to end to communicate with Sebastian and update the site with an official statement of the current situation. (I've tried to reach him since late 2006 so I assume he's on holidays). The latter time was spent trying to rise funds for continuing the development with at least two people working full time on it. Funding didn't happen so I had to take a job, and as Sebastian had a job, the situation now is we're both on a spare time basis that in practice has been close to nil. OTOH, the port to FLTK2 has gone very good with no surprises and a very good transition. The problem is lack of manpower because of lack of funds. The project is frozen because it is impossible to develop a web browser (very complex task), keeping pace with the evolving technologies, by working on a spare time basis. The web site will be updated after I have a virtual meeting to discuss the points with Sebastian, or in mid February, whatever comes first. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Not bad for a "quick hacky patch". ;-) You can use TRUE, most probably at the expense of memory leaks and maybe some side effect too. Handling "alt text" is not trivial though. Currently the DwButton with image acts as if the only child it can have is an image (dw_button.c). Handling of "alt text" involves implementing this button to handle two childs, one for alt text and another for the image. For instance, both could be added, and the button let to chose which one to draw depending on which one is NULL at a given time. Note that the image handling is asynchronous. You don't know if it will succeed at button creation time, so the button should check both children's size (for instance), and use a successful one given preference to the image. This clearly needs careful implementation. Now, dillo-0.8.6 uses the old C/GTK1 Dw, without abstraction layer. I'd prefer to work this problem out in the new C++/FLTK2 Dw with abstraction layer. If you want to implement this in C/GTK1 Dw, the above hints should get you started. -- Cheers Jorge.- > > > > 2006/12/2, Jorge Arellano Cid <jcid(a)dillo.org>: > > > >Hi Diego, > > > >On Fri, Dec 01, 2006 at 02:23:01AM +0100, Diego . wrote: > >> Very thanks for the fast patch and the advices. > >> One question ¿In Html_input_image why is the function Html_add_new_image > >> called with the FALSE parameter? > > > > Quick answer: > > > > Because the image is embedded inside a button that's already > >inside the DwPage. > > > > In other words: there's no need to add the image to the DwPage > >because the button "owns" the image (think of an object), thus > >only the button object needs to be added. > > > >-- > > Cheers > > Jorge.- > > > _______________________________________________ > Dillo-dev mailing list > Dillo-dev(a)dillo.org > http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dillo-dev

Ok, but with FALSE (DwPage owns a button that owns the image) the button fail to draw the alt text when can not load the image and do not use width and height atributes of the html tag. Using your patch and seting the parameter to TRUE it use width, height and alt, but do not redraw alt text. Without your patch dillo segfaults if that parameter is true.

Yes, just try to put up the example code, and directions on how to run it in a web site a couple of days before the chat, and ask your audience to try the example prior to the chat. That way they can experiment and play with what you're going to explain instead of having to grasp it in abstract.

Hello. I am Diego Sáenz. I use this mail address now (I had mail problems and lost some mails, but i have read them in the list archive). I am associate of AULIR (Asociacion de Usuarios de GNU/Linux de La Rioja) a spanish LUG and will give a chat about how to wrote dillo plug-ins. I will explain a few the dillo internals too. There are not very much programers in AULIR(one of them program anjelica.sourceforge.net) but i will try to wake interest about dillo. Any advice for the chat? I will try to show a preferences plug in as example. Is the bug #695 solved somewhere? i think i will need to use it for a feature of the plug in. Diego. ps: i hoppe that this do not seem spam* *

Re: [Dillo-dev] The sound of silence

Etc. This is a very appropiate question. :-) The campaign to help Dillo survive has not attracted new funders, and the donations amount near EUR 250. This clearly doesn't change a bit the project status. People in the embedded market want a small featured browser, but don't want to invest in it. This is: if we develop it they'll use it, but there's not much interest in funding the development. From a business perspective it makes sense. Investing in Dillo to make a full featured embedable web browser of it, is a three years plan (and who knows what the Web will look like in three years). Now if they only need an embedable web browser that evolves into a full-featured one. They could start deploying it in a year. This is a business opportunity indeed, but it depends on a company having a client demanding it; here using Dillo fits the bill. On the technical side, the port to FLTK2 is almost finished, and has been a surprisingly smooth transition, without surprises, going on as planned (except that we planned for some surprises!). OTOH development is progressing at very slow pace because we, the core developers, can't work full time on it, and spare time is scarce. From a community perspective, it's interesting to notice that there's a need for a lightweight web browser (Think of OLPC, firefox's users demands for less features and smaller footprint, help systems, a thin client for web apps., the embedded market: cell phones, PDAs etc). Now, if not enough users are willing to support development with money, the funding may only come from the business area, but business don't invest with regard to users' needs, but with regard to ROI. BTW, another source of funding is governments, but in seven years, not a single email has arrived from that source ;-). There we are. -- Cheers Jorge.-
