Hi All,
I'm thinking of getting involved with development on
cinelerra/luminerra, so I thought I'd say hello on this mailing list.
For the last year or so, I've been working with the inkscape guys,
honing some UI issues. At the moment though, given that they now have
100 developers on team, it looks to me like they have enough people,
and things seem to be going along nicely.
My bread and butter is really GUI work, and so I'd be really interested
in getting involved with the Gtkmm or Qt migration - if that's still
happening. In GUIs I always try and work toward intuitive, tidy,
rule-abiding, quality; and so it seems to me that maybe I'd have
something to contribute Cinelerra.
For myself, I've mostly worked in Win32 and Gnome. I've used gtkmm a
fair bit, and I would say that it is excellent. So is it possible to get
involved with the UI work? and if so how can I do that?
I would consider a partial replacement of the current GUI in Cinelerra
2.x, starting with one of the dialogs. Anything else will likely be a
complex instability hell for a developer who has not delved deeply into
the innards of Cinelerra yet.
The one dialog I think is in most dire need of refactoring is the
Record dialog. But that can be daunting, as it interfaces with
hardware like DV cameras and video grabbers. Maybe the Format and
Render dialogs?
