[tomboy-list] Tomboy on Mac

[Jared Jennings]

I'm probably going to stir a pot or later realize that I am talking crazy,
but that's what I do :)

While trying to get Tomboy to run on Lion I realized that there's no easy
way to use MonoMac. It crosses between GTK and Cocoa. I've already been
thinking about writing Tomboy for IOS and Android using the Mono libraries.
So with that in mind I am proposing the following.

We pull the current Tomboy core code into a library.
We build a new Tomboy project for Mac, based on MonoMac.
The existing Tomboy code will remain GTK and slowly transition to utilizing
the newer Tomboy library.

I'm willing to care most of this effort, although of course would welcome
ALL the contribution possible. I will host all of the work on public repo's
so anyone can play at any time.

I think this will enhance the user experience for Tomboy, especially on
Mac.
Future cross-platform support could become more easy.
Also it would help push us to breaking code from GUI as we had discussed in
the past.

Thoughts welcome.
