Dear people making announcements, specially on planets:

Please provide a small description of what the project does or at least a link to the main page. “Text Editor” is easy to understand, but many project names are not. What does PiTiVi do, and why is the Simple Timeline gone? What’s a gbrainy and why is it included in a CD? We really want to know!

Thanks and have a good day

Life Is Too Short For Bad Code: The Web Interface Is Morphing Into Emacs - “It’s just like XML over Lisp. The reaction to Lisp is, “OMG! Parentheses! Run!” On the other hand, XML (with twice the number of parenthesis) is cool/hip and folks have flocked to it.”

Pierre-Luc Beaudoin » libchamplain - Libchamplain is a C library aimed to provide a Gtk+ widget to display rasterized maps.
The State of the Language: An Interview with Bjarne Stroustrup - “rvalue references are very much a “technical extension” meant to be invisible to 99.9 percent of programmers. Their main effect will be some speedup in the implementation of common containers (e.g. vector) and algorithms” That would be true if C++ programmers used some common containers and facilities, but as every C++ project has at least 3 string classes and 3 non-stl containers, rvalue references will show up a lot more than expected.
Also, they’ll create huge amounts of macho code points for all those C++ programmers who have already mastered the wonderful, useless world of compile-time template meta-programming!
