criawips 0.0.5

Hi,

About criawips

Criawips is a slide show application that aims to become a full featured presentation application in the future. criawips is based upon the GNOME development platform [1] and some libraries from GNOME Office [2].

Criawips wants to become a part of GNOME Office once it's usable by end users and starts to integrate well into the existing GNOME Office applications.

About this release

This version includes a preview of the slide within the main window. This is currently affected by a bug (feature?) of the GNOME Canvas that prevents zooming text.=20

Grab it from [3].

Jobs:
The criawips development team is still looking for someone to set up and maintain a web site for the project.

Get Criawips

Criawips' development takes place on the savannah platform [4]. The source code is located at the Savannah CVS repository [5].
