Planet SoC

Week Two is on the trek, and it’s forging a trail through
my few days of summer with machete in hand.

Where does that leave our hero (I’m modest—I swear!)
and his code?

The bindings are near done.
There’s a few issues with GAPI that are getting sorted out
today/tomorrow (timezones and what-not), but other than that
they’re pretty much good to go.
Tomorrow I plan to finish my hand-sketches of the UI and scan
them so I can get some feedback from my mentor (Xavier).

Sounds like awfully little to do this week, but do bear in mind

Essentially, I’ve got half a week available instead of a whole one.

At best, I’ll be creating the dummy GUI on the weekend.

Since such posts do seem to be all the fashion, or at least some of it,

It’s a bit unfair to expect you (the reader) to know my project off-hand,
so as a bit of a refresher, I’m working on a Multi-User Chat (both via IM
services and IRC) application for the GNOME desktop using the Telepathy
framework and libempathy(-gtk).
This week, my goal was to nearly complete the necessary language bindings
for libmissioncontrol and libtelepathy-glib in order to write this application.
As far as getting any of that into code, nothing happened much.

Why is that?

Well, I made a last minute design decision to change the language I’d be
