Recruiting people to start the "Specto" project

[Kasanax]

Hi everyone!

I'd like to help out with the project. I don't have much programming experience (just played around with Python for a couple weeks a while back), but I'll be learning Java next semester at school.

Actually, I'm pretty new to the whole Linux/OSS thing, but I'm really excited about all of it and want to learn how I can help out. I'm not sure what I'd be able to do, but if there's stuff like testing and checking for bugs that I can help with, I'd love to get involved.

Hi Kasanax, I'm happy to hear that don't worry, I'm a beginner too, and every hand is welcome. It would be even better if you knew how to handle graphical interfaces with pygtk since I'm a little nervous about that...

Currently, we have a somewhat working web page watcher, however what severely lacks for now is:
- saving preferences
- displaying notifications in a gui... well that basically means slapping the gui and the backend together... but it depends on #1, which also depends on #2, vicious cycle

Maybe you could try to catch me on #specto as "nekohayo", but my IRC presence is unpredictable, you can further reach us on the mailing lists.

I'm glad to see your interest, I mean it's easy to help out too, because this is my first project, and anything, including code, comments and suggestions, will help.

yo.. i downloaded it from the cvs but i cant find that SimpleApp stuff.. so i was unable to see it..

Can you tell me the deps please?

[kiddo]

Yes, there is a little problem that we aim to solve today or very soon: we have a difference between the cvs version that Pascal wanted to "cleanup" and the working folder I have, the two are not fully merged so there are things missing in CVS

The only thing I can do at the moment if you want to play with this is offer you a tarball from my computer Specto.py is a little bit useless (playing with the GUI), watch_raw.py and watch_rss.py are the two watches we have now (and we would need to clean them up a little).

Wow. This program rocks. Just discovered it.

And now we are finishing our new awesome version

(If you can not wait you could try the development branch in my sig)

[Tomosaur]

Wow, this looks very cool. I'm a bit busy at the moment but once things have settled down a little I'd like to lend a hand.

Wow. Finally a useful resurrection of a 2-3 year old thread.

Ain't nothin wrong with that If he hadn't bumped it I would never have known about it.

If you feel like it, please test out the development version (at the time of writing this, it is more featureful and more reliable than the 0.2 version!), and perhaps translate it into your own language! (see: http://groups.google.com/group/spect...4e10df26f49c33 )
