im just diving into Qt. a huge *** NO to Cuteboy. Conboy is just fine IMHO, but it could be incremented to Conboy2 or just Conboy 2.0 (1.99 while developing).

the fact that gtk never made it 1.0 probably doesnt matter that much

Are there specific areas/features you'd like to develop?

haven't been thinking about it at all. i guess i'd just start going step by step trying to get feature parity with conboy 0.7.0. then in that process ideas come up for optimizations and redesign + new features. i am too unfamiliar with codebase right now to say anything meaningful.

I'm just asking because I think a joint effort would make sense. There are others (and me of course) interested as well. So I'm trying to gather everyone to see what we can do together.

for sure, but i am not sure that's doable in this forum. more like scheduled meeting in skype group chat or irc to kick things off? like i said, i for one don't even know what some feasible choices would be and have no idea who these others contributors are.

Sure. I'm currently checking if there are actually more contributers. Could also be that they lost interest. Also I'll set up a project with some boot strapping code.

Currently the single biggest challenge is to find (or probably write) a good QML text widget that allows to edit rich text. Displaying is possible with QMLs TextEdit, but the edit capabilities are almost zero.

i created #conboy on irc.gnome.org, same network where #tomboy and #snowy channels are. it probably doesn't make sense to have it on freenode or whatnot because of this "upstream" relation.

so whoever is interested, hop on by and say hi.

Thanks for pushing things forward. I have to leave again in a couple of minutes, so I can't join. Sorry. Tomorrow I'll have more time. See you!

I've just sent the following message to about 10 people. But of course everyone is invited to join, so here it comes again:

Hi guys,

I'm writing you because at some point you've been involved in Conboy
development or you have signaled that you want to get involved.

I'm currently looking for people who like to join the effort to develop
a Qt/QML version of Conboy. Target platforms would probably be the new
Nokia N9 and N950, Symbian devices and MeeGo tablets/phones.

If you are interested please post on this forum thread[1], come to
IRC[2] or directly reply to me.

This will be a completely new project. So don't worry, you don't have to
deal with all the old source code. Instead you can create something new
and beautiful

Hoping to hear from you!

Cheers,
Conny

here's something sandy from #tomboy pointed me to:

based on changelog, looks like it's actively being worked on.
