I spent the last few days updating and releasing two puzzle-sets for #GNOME #Crosswords in flathub. This adds puzzles from @george, and an updated xword-dl from @xor

Thanks to @federicomena, we also now feature a brand new developer's site. Check it out: https://jrb.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/crosswords/devel-docs/index.html

I love this addition so much. I spent all week updating the docs and writing new sections for it. I added the a "getting started" section for people new to the code base, and have been filling it out all week. I'm hoping this makes it easier for folks interested in working on this app:

One reason I worked on these docs is that I'd like to attempt a virtual hackfest this weekend. It would be fun to get together and add some functionality to the game. If you’re interested at all in word games and free software and would like to attend, let me know! Even if its just to work on a crossword, all are welcome.

[ Also, if you've had success running a virtual hackfest also let me know. I'd love to hear about practical tips for running one of these. ]
