<br>We should start a Wiki page to discuss the implementation details of this.</blockquote><div><br></div></div>Hi. I would like to re-suggest libgnt for this (re: <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2006-December/000565.html">
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2006-December/000565.html</a> and <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2006-December/000775.html">http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2006-December/000775.html
</a>). Since my initial commitment, I have not been able to spend much time on this. However, I have started writing a brief tutorial for using this library, which I hope to be able to complete soon. Once the documentation is there, it may attract more contributing developers. And once Gaim
2.0 is out of the way, I may also finally find some time to work on gntparted. In the meantime, it would be most awesome if the existing code attracts someone from this list to give it a go! :-)<br><br>For possible alternatives, you may also want to consider TWin (
