I hit up the list a month or so ago about doing the GSoC for 2008. Here is a link to that thread: http://archives.seul.org/geda/dev/Feb-2008/msg00037.html I am still interested in doing the "Project Manager" for the entire gEDA suite. I didn't see it on the wiki for 2008 GSoC (which I know is still a work in progress) but when I hit up the list about this idea Peter Clifton was one of the people that responded to me. Here is what I want to do. I want to create a "Project Manager" that will incorporate the entire gEDA suite (or whatever you can get to build on your platform -- obviously there will have to be a default amount in order to use it -- the reason I say this is I use Suse 10.3 and gwave is currently not buildable according to the wiki). This "Project Manager" will be kind of like an IDE but for our EDA tools. It would be something that would be used to use any of the programs in the suite, manage projects and the associated files. Basically it would wrap everything together so you would have a fully functional one stop GUI. The keybindings and everything else that the programs use will become "Active" when working on a file that that program uses so no program will those their identity or functionality. Depending on how things go, I could also have an option to have multiple panels within the window so you could be looking at gschem and pcb at the same time as well as having tabs for the different files that you have up (like when you open a new broswer window in firefox with Ctrl-t). All these things are possible and really it comes down to how or what people would want. All these details can be addressed later when those crossroads come. I use Visual Studio at work building GUIs on the .NET framework so I have experience in this area. I have already asked for time off from my job during spring break (March 31-April 4) so that I can hack up as much of this as possible in that week. Yes, that is right. While other kids are out at the beaches I WANT to code up as much of this "Project Manager" as I can in a week. I will be using PyGTK and since I am new to this framework it might take some getting used to but I don't think that it will be too bad since I have been playing around with it for a bit. If anyone has any suggestions or comments about anything that I have said, I look forward to your inputs and responses. Newell Jensen
