[referencer] Introduction

[Aaron Seilis]

Hey all,

I'm a M.Sc. student in Canada, and I've been looking for a good tool to
manage references for my thesis. I used Referencer for a brief period,
but eventually looked elsewhere due to the lack of active maintainers.

I just finished reading the posts to the mailing list for the last few
months and I'd like to pitch-in and help. I have some experience with
C/C++/Python, but no experience with the GTK/GTKmm libraries.

After reading the posts, I'm unclear about what has been done in terms
of migration to other hosting/VCS. Does anyone have a repo available to
pull yet?

I have converted all the branches I know of to bzr. They are all at
https://code.launchpad.net/referencer

Then I have merged everything into the
lp:~referencer-devs/referencer/shiyee_andrease_changes (1) branch,
including many of the patches I could find in launchpad.

After that, Antonio Lima has been working further on some gio porting in
his branch at lp:~referencer-devs/referencer/amrlima_gio_port, based on
(1).

I suggest you base your work on one of those branches.

I think at this point we are basically waiting for John to change the
owner of the launchpad project to the team I have created,
"referencer-devs".
