I'm thinking of attempting the list patch again even though we can't
release binaries generating lists until the field support is fixed.
However I think my next project will be to finish off the Tab's dialog
which I might be able to finish in a week provided I don't decide to work
on my day job at night :-)
There are many other dialogs that need implementing too. Page Numbers,
Headers/Footers, Page setup, styles and elements of options. I hope that
sometime soon Alexey will finish "Show Paragraph" and Joaquin's goto-line
is waiting on some code review/QA.
Then there is the modelessizing of find/replace, spelling, options and I
want to add a new feature that would be great for preparing
transperencies. A dialog (modeless of course!) with 8 or more
user-definable colours selected by radio buttons. Put the dialog next the
window and change colours on the fly. Makes producing coloured
transperencies a snap! Another non-MS word feature :-)
All-in-all plenty of features for new hackers to work on :-)
Cheers
Martin
