Port to GTK+ 3 Guide

[quozl]

Migrate from Wiki.
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting

[rdrsadhu]

The script I've been developing for migrating the Activities wiki-pages shall help?

Let me know,

• which exact pages to migrate
• anything else, which will help to perform the migration

[quozl]

Also needs updating, for which experience with porting from GTK+ 2 to GTK+ 3 will be critical.

I am updating the guide in the wiki itself, which can be migrated after that

@Pro-Panda can we coordinate on this?

[rahul-bothra]

@yashagrawal3, I have almost completed updating the guide, and will complete it in ~4 hours. It can then be migrated to sugar-docs

[yell0wfl4sh]

@Pro-Panda great! I will look if I can add anything.
Thanks!

@rdrsadhu, in my opinion, the pages can now be migrated

which exact pages to migrate

1. https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting
2. And the following examples (They are present as links in the bottom of the page):

• https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting/Finance
• https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting/GetBooks
• https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting/Implode
• https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting/InfoSlicer
• https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting/Jukebox
• https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting/Log
• https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting/Record
• https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting/TamTam
• https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Porting/Typing_Turtle

My suggestion would be to make an examples directory and place the examples there, while also updating the links in the main page

#150
Please review.

#150 did improve, but did not fully fix this issue.

Examples are yet to be moved.

[rahul-bothra]

We removed the individual examples after observing that they don't contain anything useful to add to the main page [Ref]. Should they be incorporated in a different manner ?

[quozl]

Okay, thanks. Discussion split between issue and pull request was a cause of my misunderstanding.

This link shows nothing of what was done. How is this version a better documentation of the conversion process than the original? Ideally, the Wiki speaks to our users and potential users. The gitHub speaks to developers. Perhaps this move is appropriate because the existing pages describe how to do the conversion, a task for developers. However, where is the page that explains to our users how they benefit from this conversion? For example, users need to know how recent a build they need to install in order to use gtk+3. We still have many XO users with Sugar 0.82. Tony

Our GTK+ 3 Porting Guide is for developers and has been moved from the Wiki so that it can be maintained by developers. Users should contact their integrator or build supplier. Anyone still using Sugar 0.82 should avoid installing any recently developed activities, as they won't work.
