At this point, I am thinking of dropping support for the Monkesign GUI completely. Porting the GUI to GTK3/GI would be pretty close to a full rewrite, which is not something I have the resources for at this stage. If I would rewrite parts of Monkeysign, I would rather deal with the [crufty GPG library][22] instead, as that is a much larger liability. Furthermore, I have [another project][gameclock] that more heavily relies on the GUI that I need to port away from GTK2 first, so the odds of me working on this are slim, at best. [gameclock]: https://0xacab.org/anarcat/gameclock [22]: https://0xacab.org/monkeysphere/monkeysign/issues/22 Besides, GUI needs of the users are currently better served by the "GNOME Keysign" project, which features a lot of the ideas of Monkeysign, with extra features - which still [need to be documented][]. []: https://0xacab.org/monkeysphere/monkeysign/issues/22 This would leave monkeysign as a commandline-only application; that would make future maintenance easier and allow people to focus on a single project as well for GUI improvements. Those who wish to object to this are welcome to contribute patches to port to GI. In the meantime, my next efforts on this will be to strip the GTK dependencies from Monkeysign.
