Description Corey Shields 2005-11-05 11:11:41 UTC
Thoutreader is a document/book reader currently written in java (afaik, plans 
are under way for another platform, python maybe?). The main developer, Gary 
Varnell has taken most of Gentoo's documents (both end user and developer) and 
converted them to the thoutreader format.  Additional free books are 
available, along with options to purchase books (such as OReilly).  The cool 
thing about this is that it is searchable. 
 
Looking for someone from the java team to put this into portage.  The OSoft 
team has been working with myself, spyderous, and SwifT in the past.  I think 
we all agree that having a searchable desktop base of Gentoo's docs would be A 
Cool Thing(tm). 
 
The app can be found at http://www.osoft.com 
 
Gary's email is gvarnell@osoft.com and is very open to helping with any 
problems. 
 
If someone could whip up an ebuild for this I would appreciate it! 
 
Thanks

I looked on the website, and I only could find the source code for version 1.8.0 Where is the latest source code?

No progress here for 1 year, closing WONTFIX. Feel free to reopen with an ebuild.
