Re: [DotGNU]List of SWF controls - volunteers wanted

bob,

you'd have to set yourself up with the latest pnet and pnetlib from 
CVS. doing this in cygwin is fine (i believe), but just make sure you 
have the X11 server running on cygwin. if you have a linux box around, 
you may just want to set that up and use that, i dunno what your setup 
currently is. but once you get the samples running in pnetlib/samples, 
you can just start hacking away on those classes. you might want to 
talk to people such as rhysw, gopal, and simon (sorry if i left anyone 
out) before you start just to make sure there's no overlap. thanks for 
volunteering to help, x11-winforms is at a really exciting stage right 
now and we want to get a full implementation asap.
