| - I've been working on porting wicd's GUI from GTK+2 to GTK+3 and I'm
|   making good progress.
|   - wicd's GTK+2 GUI is implemented using PyGTK which is Python-2-only
|     and GTK+2-only. As a result the GUI stopped working with the port
|     from Python 2 to Python 3. I'm working on migrating from PyGTK to
|     PyGObject which supports Python 3 but requires also migrating from
|     GTK+2 to at least GTK+3.

|   - (gl) Did you not see this post on the forum? Why are you
|     duplicating this effort?

|    - "good news everyone - wicd is back!

|      It was forked on launchpad by a user called hanaguro. He was
|      working very hard on wicd python 3 port during this summer on his
|      repo:"

|      https://git.launchpad.net/~hanaguro/wicd/

|      - (plasma41) I had seen some of hanaguro's work, but I found it
|        quite hard to follow as most of hanaguro's commit messages are
|        in Japanese. hanaguro also seems to be working on lots of
|        different changes at the same time. At the very least, I've
|        learned quite a lot and gotten quite far just by running the
|        program till it crashes and consulting the API documentation
|        for PyGTK and PyGObject and working out how to get the old
|        functionality with the new library. (I also initially started
|        my porting work while I was offline, without a wired ethernet
|        connection and needed to connect to Wi-Fi and realized I didn't
|        have any wireless control software installed, but did happen to
|        have the wicd git repository cloned locally.)

|        - (gl) - There was some off-list email I can forward to you
|          regarding this project. Andreas Messer has contacted hanaguro
|          but haven't heard anything else after that.
|          - (plasma41) Please and thank you
|            - (gl) Might not happen till after the meet but will later
|              today. I will need to sort the to/from conversation(s).
|              DONE!
