Welcome to the Jambu developer documentation

Project Management

We're using this trac and a subversion code repository (given Trac's limited ticket system we may move to Bugzilla or another).

Communication is via direct email (list and possibly IRC to come)

Vague goals include; Agile, Test Drive Development, good use of patterns where appropriate

• SourceRepositoryUse - browse source code
• CodingGuidelines
• TestStrategy

Technical

In this phase we are targeting Gnome on Linux using Python, pygtk (basic UI), librsvg (SVG rendering) and pyatspi (Firefox access).

A key requirement is to port to Windows ASAP so must reduce dependencies on Gnome/Linux. IA2 helps and though GTK has been ported to Windows it has less support and pyatspi has not yet been ported.
