Dear all,

I have been looking for an excuse to learn gtk2-perl and contribute to gnome and I think that I have found one.

I have not yet seen an equivalent of TortoiseSVN on the Gnome desktop, so I would like to create one.

I know it's probably a massive task for my skill set at the moment, but I wish to start anyway.

My idea is along the lines of:

• Read over nautilus-vcs, which is similar, but doesn't do Subversion yet.
• Hook into libnautilus-extension, to provide right-click functionality.
• Use a lot of system commands, relying heavily on the subversion client.
• Obviously go GPL.
• Package it.
• List it on SF
• Ask a lot of questions on here ;-)

I know this is very ambitious, but if anyone has any pointers on the route to take (other than don't bother ;-) ), I would really welcome them.

Thanks.
