Hacking on the Eye of Gnome
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
I have tried to write the code in the Eye of Gnome with several goals
|
|
in mind:
|
|
|
|
- It has to be maintainable.
|
|
|
|
- It has to be extensible.
|
|
|
|
- It has to be correct.
|
|
|
|
- It has to be documented.
|
|
|
|
Being one of the authors of the GNOME Programming Guidelines, I have
|
|
tried to apply the principles mentioned there in the code for the Eye
|
|
of Gnome. If you want to work on EOG as well, please read the GNOME
|
|
Programming Guidelines, understand their purpose, and keep them in
|
|
mind when writing code for EOG.
|
|
|
|
If you want to put code in EOG, I would like to review it first.
|
|
Please mail me a patch to <federico@gnu.org>. If you wish to commit
|
|
to the Bonobo component please send a patch to <mmeeks@gnu.org>. This
|
|
is to ensure that the code fits well within the grand plan for EOG.
|
|
This is not fascism, it is simple and innocent paranoia.
|
|
|
|
The reason for this is that EOG code base will grow to be
|
|
substantially big. It will be a full product for image viewing and
|
|
cataloging; it is not "yet another image viewer". I have to make sure
|
|
that the code will be able to sustain such work.
