+svte: simple virtual terminal emulator: minimal, tabbed, VTE-based terminal
-commits to mt should be small and frequent, push them as soon as possible, once something works bug free, push it. That way it is easier to track changes over a period of time
+svte is a terminal that is flexible and has a small codebase. Its aim is to be
+lightweight and fast, while providing nice integration with a modern Linux
+environment. svte is yet another minimal GTK incarnation of VTE. svte is an
+alternative to Sakura, Lilyterm, etc.
-Todo/Goals:
+= Goals of svte =
-vte callbacks
-color schemes
-rcfile
-commenting and reworking some source.
-minimal gtk or vte lib possible?
+* Keep a small footprint, small codebase, and minimal implementation
+* Support a large amount of the VTE interface
+* Support color schemes
+* Load configuration information from an rc file
-mt - multi-terminal: a simple, tabbed, VTE based terminal that aims to simple, flexible, and maintain a ridiculously small codebase. while still aiming to be light and fast, i feel it provides better integration to the modern linux environment. GTK's footprint isn't light, but it has an excellent API, is easy to work with and is in development.
+= Help =
-Basically another minimal GTK incarnation of gtk's VTE integration.
+svte usage information is available at the svte project site, located at
+http://code.google.com/p/svte/.
-I was looking for a alternative to Sakura, Lilyterm and others.
