Personally, the highest ranking item on my Wx wishlist is that someone
(or ideally several someones) went through the pain of learning C++,
wxWidgets, XS (aka C + perlapi + the actual XS bits), and the Wx.pm code
enough to help Mattia maintain the beast. We have a pretty bad bus
factor and I don't think it's fair that we're putting as much pressure
on a fellow volunteer by simply depending on his work this much.
That being said, I have been reading the Wx XS code here and there to
the best of my limited abilities. Progress is slow and distraction is
cheap. :(
Cheers,
Steffen
