I have seen Return of the King too. A good movie, but I suspect that no one reading this needs any further recommendations.
XSLT and gtk-doc
My crash-course in XSLT continues. I have nearly got a fast replacement for the subset of docbook that gtk-doc uses written. The catch is fixing up the cross-references, the naive way to do this in XSLT rescans the document tree every time a link is encountered. This adds a factor of ten onto the run time. If I can't figure out a quicker way then I think that the perl script that gtk-doc uses to fix up all the inter-package links could be adapted to fix up these as well, and I know that that script is efficient.
gnome-games
As for gnome-games work, well, um, not a lot really. Although I have fixed one crasher and finally put some of the code consolidation work in CVS.
We don't speak that language here
While writing this I see that jhbuild has stopped again. It seems to have tried to compile x86 assembler code while compiling Mozilla. This is somewhat unfortunate given that the CPU is a powerpc.
Edit: Before someone tells me: I now know the answer to the XSLT problem is key().
FOAF updates: Trust rankings are now exported, making the data available to other users and websites. An external FOAF URI has been added, allowing users to link to an additional FOAF file.
