Feedback on GNOME 3.0
After 5 months with GNOME 3.0, I'm really happy with the experience. At the end of work day,
my mind is no more exhausted of windows placement fighting and application finding.

coreutils is a really active project
I'm impressed by the activity of the coreutils project (unix commands such as ls, df, etc). At first glance, you might think command line tools are written for good and only few changes are applied to ensure compatibility with the platforms.

The libmodbus documentation has landed
You've been numerous to ask for documentation and the work of gass with GTK-doc help me to prioritize it, so this month I've finally tackled this problem but not as expected!

libmodbus v2.9.3 is out!
During this development cycle, I've received more feedback than for any other releases. That's really cool, thank you! With this new release, you can consider to migrate from the previous 2.0.x series for your applications.
libsoup and Django
If you need to interface C code with a Django app, you should consider to use libsoup. It's a nice HTTP client/server library based on GObject and integrated with the glib main loop.
This is the code I used to authenticate with libsoup against my Django application (and the code is similar for any forms):
