Hi Greg,
That's what I was thinking when I suggested the API diff tool, I think using
clang I've got most of the parts to get it done.
Such a tool would be a great thing to point new developers at to help them get
involved: tell a newcomer to find a method from our "not yet" list, and add it
to base/GUI (with tests). A collection of simple, small, well-defined tasks
with clear success criteria.
Cheers,
Graham.
