[Splashy-devel] libsplashy?

[Luis]

Hello Tim,

I believe this is a good idea. Can you join us tomorrow at the meeting
and propose your request?

Sun Aug 13 @ 20:00 UTC on #splashy irc.freenode.net

This can easily find its way into Splashy 0.2.x, as Splashy 0.1.9 is
meant to be a "maintenance" update to Splashy. The only major thing we
need fix is initramfs support on Sid/Ubuntu (Dapper/Hoary). Which
happen to use some software that sets the fonts to the console and
breaks Splashy when started from initramfs.

Please join us at the meeting. In any case, I'll pitch your idea at
the meeting as well.
