Hey everyone, we are planning a GObject Introspection Hackfest to run with the BOF sessions at the Desktop Summit in August. Openismus has also kindly offered us use of their offices for the three days following the conference.
One of the big areas we want to address this time around is generating developer documentation directly from .gir files for each of the languages that support Introspection. This means making sure GObject libraries tag C identifiers for translation to the correct language syntax as well as providing a way to override the more complicated sections such as code samples and Interfaces that have been modified to closer fit a given language’s syntax.
Other items on the agenda include finishing up some of the features, such as default values, that have yet to be implemented but make introspected bindings much easier to use.
If you are interested in attending please add your name and contact info to the wiki page along with any agenda items you would like to see addressed. We should be submitting this to the board for approval and arranging accommodations fairly soon so the sooner we get a list of participants, the better.

It would be great to see header file information in the resulting devhelp data so we can scrape that for Eclipse integration.
