Hi all, i'd like to add that i would pass my existing source code on the anyone stepping in (permission from Wacom provided). In my view (and as far as i remember) what's missing for it to work under Windows is just some window handling code. gr~~~

Hello again, Pd developers and programmers,
[added comment]
I am resending this message, as the latest version wasn't a success. I guess no one needs a unix version of [wacom], so I rephrase the question: who wants to port [wacom] for windows only? H-C, I noticed that you're putting in a group to work on windows- related stuff. Do you mind spreading this message around to any windows-related developers? (developers! developers! developers! developers! developers! developers! developers! developers! developers! developers! developers! developers! developers! developers! ...)
And after this interlude comes the original message again:
[original message]
We - me and Johannes Kreidler for now - wanted to ask if anyone would be interested in programming a version of Thomas Grill's [wacom] for windows. This external is used to take data from wacom tablets - so in case anyone else is interested in this please say something.
The features/work would include:
- be compatible with general wacom architecture - and specially with
the Intuos3 (which is the tablet we own)
- take all parameters from the tablet connected
- not forgetting tilt+inclination, touch strips and keys (these
aren't covered by [wintablet])
- put the compiled binaries in a svn folder packaged with Pd
Extended (see below)
- be willing to do some maintenance now and then, specially until
things get stable (after that, I guess the work would be kind of finished)
According to T Grill, the developer(s) that work on this must register with Wacom as developer(s), so that they have access to the wacon API. Also, the source code cannot be given away, so they must sign a non-disclosure contract (from what Thomas said, not as complicated as it sounds). I couldn't find exact information about this, but at http://www.wacomeng.com/devsupport/index.html might be something more clear.
It would be perfect if someone would be interested in porting the code just because. In case that doesn't happen, we - me, Johannes Kreidler and whoever wants to join in - would be interested in giving a small payment for the work. We're poor people (just like you), so we can't really pay what a professional programmer should get for the work. In that case, just get in discussion with us, and we'll see what can be done.
Again, if this interests someone else - either as developper or contributor - please forward this mail away.
Best,
João Pais
