Yes. I noticed it was created rather recently by Christopher on April  
22nd. Since its changes (base refactoring) will very likely interfere with  
mine, I'll discuss this branch in more detail with him.

These are the FloatCanvas-relevant locations in found in svn:

https://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxPython/3rdParty/
https://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxPython/3rdParty/branches/FloatCanvas/
https://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxPython/trunk/wx/lib/floatcanvas

I am not really sure which one is the appropriate for me to work on. I  
suppose it's the

https://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxPython/3rdParty/

one, but I'll talk more to Christopher about dealing with SVN for fc first.

Is there anything you want me to read up on the development  
process/development details on wxPython? So far I am aware of the Coding  
Guidelines, but I wonder if you'd like me to pay attention to other things  
as well.

Until now I am developing FloatCanvas against the latest official 2.8  
release, because it doesn't seem useful to setup the complete machinery to  
build wxPython from scratch for working on FloatCanvas. Is this ok, or  
would you recommend to always develop against an up-to-date build of the  
trunk?

What's the best place where I can find out more about upcoming/planned  
changes in wxPython?
