So I would like to welcome Dmitry Dzhus to this list as the student of that project. I will be acting as his mentor but I am sure that he will be able to get support from everyone here too. As I stated in January, I would like the resulting code would replace gdb-ui.el after the release of Emacs 23.1. Is there any estimate for the release date? It would be best to commit changes to the repository, so if the release is expected to be after the coding start date of the project (May 23) then it would be helpful to cut a new branch where new features for Emacs could go. I know that RMS does not like this idea, as he thinks that all focus will shift to the new branch, but I'm not sure if that's true and there are drawbacks in not having one. Debian seem to manage with both a testing and unstable distribution. If that's not possible, changes will have to go to Tom Tromey's Emacs Lisp Archive, where the existing mode (gdb-mi.el, modified gud.el) resides, but the feedback from there, so far, has been nil. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob GNU Project's accepted proposals: http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/karlberry Student Project Emacs GDB/MI migration: http://socghop.appspot.com/student_project/show/google/gsoc2009/karlberry/t124022551883 Timeline: http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/timeline Emacs Lisp Archive http://tromey.com/elpa/
