Few of you may know that Im interested in astrology. About two months ago I have decided to
create an astrologers software for the GNOME desktop. Since then, I have contacted Jean-André
Santoni, who created a software called `Astrognome <https://code.google.com/p/astrognome/>`_ some
years ago. We exchanged some e-mails, and after several weeks of coding, Im proud to present
`SWE-GLib <https://github.com/gergelypolonkai/swe-glib>`_ 1.0.1. This is “just” a library which
wraps `Swiss Ephemeris <http://www.astro.com/swisseph/>`_, creating a nice GLib-ish interface
around it. See the project page and the built-in GTK-Doc document for more information.
The astrologers software Im writing will be Astrognome (you can check the `GitHub repository
<https://github.com/gergelypolonkai/astrognome>`_ already, thanks for Jean-André for letting me
use the name). It is currently in pre-alpha status, but already utilizes SWE-GLib (it just cant
display the results yet). If you happen to be interested in astrology and/or Astrognome, fork the
repository and contribute! You can also contact me (or open an enhancement issue on GitHub) if
you have any ideas.
