I am impressed by the unresponsiveness of the apolyton freeciv section; the MAC and native windows clients have gone unreported. The new graphical server interface has not been mentioned. And none of the new features have been reported.

Ok, sorry, for some reason I was feeling grumpy .

But may I suggest:
1) You cut down on the freeciv page; many of the items can be done by simply linking to the relevant www.freeciv.org page. Then you will have the most up to date content. All relevant downloads will be there anyway.
2) Get someone who is actually interested in freeciv, and who follow the mailing lists, to administer the apolyton freeciv homepage. All the important things take place on those lists. Maybe you could send a mail to freeciv@freeciv.org asking of someone want the job; or alternatively just ask in this thread.

When it is done . Depends on how much time I have. What remains is:

• mess with flags, unit activities, city sizes etc.
  
• scrollbar bug. (easy)
  
• restore old view mode (relatively easy)
  
• goto line functionality.
  
• make it not be dog slow.
  
• graphics related to city combat. (easy)
  
• cleanup code
  
• modify freeciv to be able to use the new city styles.(easy add-on)

In C, using Gimp Drawing Kit. There didn't go much though into the choise of gdk, it was just what the old view used, and it seemed to do what I needed. (But I will prbably have to go rewrite most of it at a level below gdk to get it faster. And FoW doesn't work quite right using only stock function...)

what am i missing?

It seems to me that it is apolyton newsworthy when a feature becomes implemented in CVS; at least you jump at every small half-baked peice of developments news from any of the other projects .
