[Qt-jambi-interest] Request for contributors

[Dusan Zatkovsky]

Before I tell you about my work, read this:

	As a new developer, I am missing many basic informations, such as:

	- 	where is up-to-date main page of qtjambi? ( there are many old
		informations on gitorious )

	... and questions follows up:

	-	what is current repository?

	-	how to contribute?
		"Contributing to Qt Jambi" on wiki seems to be a little bit obsolete ( for
		example "Qt Jambi is currently under maintenance by Nokia Qt Development
		Frameworks", ...)

	-	where is official tracker?
		We can't exist without it. There must exist list of tasks to be done to
		prevent duplicated work.

	I think we must consolidate this, because now sources are on gitorious,
	_obsolete_ wiki is on gitorious, bugtracker is on sf.net, what else?

	Start talking about this problem, because without this we can't cooperate.

	If we need to migrate to ONE complex site ( sources, web, wiki, tracker ),
	just do that! There are many of them ( sf, google, tigris )
	See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/\
	Comparison_of_open_source_software_hosting_facilities

Now back to my work:

I have made some simpler "release" scripts, which will create .tar.gz with 
qtjambi distribution ( contains jars, designer, juic, linguist ) to learn how 
thinks works ( designer was a tricky job, thanks Eskil for help ), but 
currently I have no time to maintain it.

I have mavenized qt jars for my personal usage and also I created some maven 
plugins to handle jui and ts files, but there aren't finalized yet, because 
they are using 4.5 release and I am waiting for the first 4.6 release to see 
file/directory layout of current distribution and update my code to work with 
it.

It is working in my company, but it is far away from final state ( too much of 
manual work, because there is not official 4.6 release yet ).

My idea is to create QtJambiMavenPlugin, which will contains all needed jars 
and binaries ( for each platform ) embedded. It'll help to create mavenized 
qtjambi projects without requirement to manually download qtjambi and 
configuring environment.

But as I say, I have absolutelly no free time now for this task.

Now some questions:

-	is it possible to split qtjambi to smaller jars ( core, gui, ... ) like in
	c++?

-	original 4.5 sources are "chaotic", it need some rearrangement.
	It is hard to identify sources, generated sources and targets, everything
	builds together in the same directories ( aaaargh ).
	Maybe this have been done by Francis currently, I don't know... (?)

... maybe I forgot something, tell me what du think.
