If someone wants to take over from me then that'd be good; failing that, it'll be done when I get some time, if ever. Sorry. BrokenCrystal: I have no time whatsoever to work on Jackfield.

Example: (2Q-2008) Second quarter of 2008. <- Wishful thinking! No pressure...

At the same time, if you submit a ticket to bugs.gentoo.org requesting an ebuild and linking to the site, they will put that into the bucket of would-be packages waiting for some enterprising geek to come along and decide to make the install script (ebuild) for it.

I can compile the code, it is a lot more difficult to write someone else's code. Keep up the good work, with the Widgets Layer plugin in Compiz-Fusion (which comes with Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10), you don't have to worry about integrating it - you can just magically do it without any extra work on your part. So basically, you can have it be all dashboard-y without having to do anything extra. It's pretty sweet.

He seems to have figured out google gadgets and is talking on his blog/livejournal about helping you out with Jackfield. http://cgwalters.livejournal.com/ If you get any time, can we get an update on the current status of Jackfield? What is working so far? What are you having problems with? What is not working? Anything... Throw us a bone! I am very anxious. ;- ) Thanks and keep up the good work, I was wondering if you had been contacted or are currently working with this guy?

However, on the flip side of that is the possibility that taking the time to make a couple packages could make your project more well known, thus bringing in additional coders and these mystical packagers they may not know about your project currently...so it's a double edged sword. I'd still say focus on the code at this point probably... As to some of the other comments I've read, it may be in your best interest to turn this project into a library/plugin for something like gDesklets, to simply allow widgets from other platforms to run on top of it (or another existing desklet platform)...? Really, it's all up to you, but I do agree there's no need in reinventing the wheel if your main goal is for some other, more specific component. Plus, from what I understand an upcoming version of gDesklets is supposed to be going more multiplatform...ie, it runs on Windows and Mac OS as well as Linux/Unix. Lots to think about I guess...

It wouldn't for Opera widgets, though, and more importantly webkit/gtk is not for ordinary people until it's packaged for distributions, which at the moment it isn't. Also: no Python bindings as yet afaik. I'll seriously consider webkit later, though. Davim: yes, it would, for Dashboard widgets.
