Hi,

as some have noticed I have resumed my work on Xournal and now it's at its fourth alpha version on Fremantle Extras-Devel repository.

The first ones were just to actually make it compile and start on Fremantle, but the last version got rid of the scrollbars altogether (with the addition of the Hand tool on the toolbar to scroll it around).

I am interested on what people think about this. I think it's a nice was to save screen space (and I'll probably backport it to Diablo once the Fremantle version is finished).

Also here's a rough roadmap on how I plan to continue work on Xournal for Maemo:

Beta Relese

sometime end of September
fully working, few things to iron out.
New feature: mail / bt sharing

First stable release:

mid/October
Working release of Xournal with as many bugs squashed out
Fully adapted to Maemo 5
Ready for the mass. No new notable feature.

Next release

Sometime before Christmas
- Sharing feature to be extended to on-line services:
- Google Docs
- Evernote
- You name it

New features:
- On-Line PDF annotation:
1 Select on-line PDF (from Gdocs/Evernote/bla)
2 Annotate as usual
3 PDF is only kept in local cache
4 the Xournal own file stores the PDF remote location (of course you can choose to bind a permanent copy of it as it does now)

This On-Line PDF annotation allows the user to share only the
annotations with users and have a single copy of the PDF in a remote location.
Use case: a student shares a PDF with exam to Prof.
Prof annotates errors, sends back annotations to user; user opens it as usual.

Pro: Smaller file to send around.
Cons: Online copy of PDF might disappear.

- Speech / Scribble recognition
- anyone knows a good library for those?

- Attach Audio/Video to notes
- rough idea. How would you annotate an audio or a video?
First things that comes to mind: lyrics style?

I am open to suggestions/critics.
