[gef-dev] Re: Simple(r) Example - Looking for community contribution

Hi everybody.

I was glad to see all the positive response
we received from the community.  We'll try to get the community involved
a bit more in the future, if the enthusiasm remains just as strong.  Five
volunteers offered to help in some form or the other, and we've decided
to let Elias Volanakis work on this example.  Thanks to all those
who responded. 

We should have a basic example soon!

Subject	Simple(r) Example - Looking for community contribution

Hello everybody.

I had sent out an email a while back
listing the features that would be desirable in a simple example of a GEF-based
editor.  This is the final list of requirements that we have come
up with for this simple drawing editor.

- Two basic shapes (ellipse and rectangle) will be
supported (no nesting of shapes)
- Two types of connections (dashed and solid lines)
- Ability to move/resize shapes
- Outline Tree (no overview)
- Properties View support

The basic features you'd expect in an editor of this type (undo/redo,
deletion, flyout palette, etc.) will all be supported.  This example
will
be well-documented.

We are looking for a volunteer from
the community who'd be interested in implementing this example.  Please
contact me if you are interested.
