Re: Call for wxWidgets developers

Hi Stéphane and Irène,

Thanks for getting back to me on this. Good to see that there's some 
interest in improving the wx framework (especially on Mac) from the 
Amaya community.

We (Chandler) are using the wx CVS trunk (2.7... that's living on the 
edge for you... :) integrating our own set of patches which, as for you, 
haven't all been adopted by the main wx community. You can see more 
about wx and Chandler on our Wiki:
    http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/WxPythonProject

Anyway, this is not strictly an Amaya concern but rather a wxWidgets 
community idea/initiative so, instead of boring the hell out of folks 
here with framework issues, I propose to send you guys a private email 
so that we can start chatting about this and share ideas and concerns. 
How does that sound?

Cheers,
- Philippe
