Hey,
None of you know me or have heard about me so a quick introduction:
I'm Archivus and I've been playing eve since last december (on and off really). Recently I switched to a mac laptop at home and found myself out of luck with a decent replacement tool for eveMon. I'm a software developer / consultant during working hours and in my spare time I used to be a very active open source developer.
I decided to just bite the bullet and write a native mac application to mimic the behaviour of eveMon to the fullest. It has been in development for a few days now and there is decent progress.
I am fully aware of alternative programs to get eveMon functionality on a mac but they all require at least some form of tinkering (afaik, please correct me if I'm wrong).
I am posting this here now to get other parties (if interested) involved as I will be bringing up a CVS repository soon-ish - hopefully by the end of this week. The application will be free software under a very relaxed BSD license.
To get involved you should at least have an understanding of Cocoa and objective-C and how CVS works. Drop me an evemail if interested. An update will be posted at the end of the week in this topic.
Take care.
(this is my main character)

You can, I bet. I haven't done it myself. However note that I was talking about a native application that runs without tinkering with 3rd party applications to get it up and running.

Have you looked at GtkEveMon? I'm running on Linux but my understanding is the Mac also has everything you need.

Yes I have, however as the other solution this is not native and requires GTK libraries and X11 and I dislike those personally quite a bit.
There will be screenshots, initial mac binaries and full source by the end of this week for the application I've been writing. I do not like reinventing the wheel but I really dislike any other solutions which are out there for the time being.

updated 090905 with first release hosted on sf.net.
release01 package includes compiled application + source code.
please report bugs to the e-mail address listed in the README.rtf file.
enjoy!
edit: its lacking documentation, it's pretty straight forward to figure out how to use it though.

Glad to hear others are enjoying it.
There will be a new release out somewhere next week with some bug fixes I found and received. Besides that there'll
be an automated update of the character every hour plus proper notification if a skill training has finished.
After that release things like skill, ship and item planners will start showing up.

I had a look at your screenshots and it looks like the sort of app I've been looking to write for a while.
Are your bugs logged on SF?
I'd be happy to take a look at some of them and maybe contribute some code towards a skill planner :)

As of this time they are not, however if you or others would be interested in collaborating I'd be happy to move the
CVS tree and bugs to SF and establish a more central point of development.

I would suggest you not use CVS but move to Subversion or Git as they will make managing you project much easier with multiple developers. CVS was great in it's day but it's day was really over several years ago when the others were developed.

I'm used to CVS and am fully aware of its drawbacks and other issues, however having written an open source CVS implementation I am biased towards using it more then any other alternative. I hope this thread will not turn into "oh my god wtf bbq svn iz way better n ****" because I will simply ignore those.

Wouldn't be from me I just thought I'd make the suggestion but sound like you do understand the problems etc and in the end it is your project
