I had in mind stuff which was a bit more low-level, but the stuff you
pointed out is in no way less important. The main issue I had in mind
was what programming language to use. More precisely, what C++ standard
to target and which language features are accepted or avoided in Pan's
source code. This issue is a bit more important now that there is a new
C++ standard is out and some compilers already support at least some of
the new features.
Regarding Pan's development process in a broader sense, are there any
plans to add a section to Pan's site which explicitly covers how Pan is
developed and how others may contribute to it? There is a section
covering Pan's roadmap, and the download section includes references to
a set of source code repositories, but that appears to be it.
With regards to the bit about Pan not requiring GNOME, it is
unquestionably the right thing to do. Yet, as Pan's site refers to Pan
as "gnome newsreader", maybe this might appear a bit contradictory to
some people. Wouldn't it be better to refer to Pan as, for example, a
gtk newsreader?
