It is true that peter wrote the code originally, but I have now been working with the code for the better part of a half year. So if I were to mentor, it coulld be all of the C code, but the not JS code. The JS code is surely the easiest part to get involved in, since it does not really require a lot of in depth knowledge with the internals of DocFormats. A httpd module, that wraps around a virtual DocFormates API, would also be easy to mentor. Finally expanding our test harness would be easy. > > Ideas? > > PS: This might not get anywhere in time for GSoC 2015, > But it strikes me as a valuable inquiry to make at this > point. > Well hopefully next year we will have a stable DocFormats, and more C developers involved, so the question will be different. rgds jan i > </orcmid> > > > >
