SidecarForLinuxDeveloperPage

Yes, this is the page for Sidecar development:

Current News

• We're talking to Stephen Cochran?, (the guy at Dartmouth who has the power over the original code) to determine how we can reverse engineer the sources. I don't want to have to "clean room" it, because we don't have enough developers available to do such a thing!

• The source code in question can be downloaded from a Cornell website, but presumably that code is not open source (given what I was told by people at Cornell a few weeks ago).

Progress so far

• Jeff Goddard is on the Cornell linux mailing list, and is trying to determine if we can get source through them in some fashion.

• We don't have any APIs currently, but we're hoping to reverse engineer the sources that can be downloaded from the Cornell website. We just need to do that legally :-)

Stuff left from the old version I hacked together (but couldn't release the source):

• SidecarForLinux How I Did It -- (soon to have) information about how I got sidecar working under Linux.

• RoughSidecarGtk2GUI -- I'm sticking this here in case it turns out to be of some use..
