[GSoC 2013]Interested in Porting Samba to GTK3

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Hi Prannoy,

Some quick comments:

I only see gregedit being mentioned for porting here, not any of the other utilities.

| Porting regedit in the bin to GTK3 and adding the missing functionalities to the rpc based implementation in the sambagtk package.
What missing functionality are you referring to here exactly?

| Improving and solving issues related with binutilities and user manager which are arising due to lack of proper MSDN documentation
What do you mean with binutilities?

Cheers,

Jelmer
