So, Behdad asked for more ideas to keep those students busy... Here are some, with some annotations from irc discussion with Owen and Behdad:
1. Write a help document for vinagre (affected module: vinagre) 2. Make gnome-screenshot capture the pointer image (affected module: gnome-utils) This one needs good step-by-step instructions, pointing to the functions you use to get the pointer image, locate the pointer position, etc 3. Add a background-per-workspace option in the appearance capplet (affected modules: control-center, nautilus, eel, gnome-desktop,...) This one is quite possibly too big; it touches multiple modules. 4. Move the keybinding preference from from tomboy to the keybinding capplet (affected module: tomboy) This is bug 410760, Bastien said he can write/monitor this one. 5. Move the keybinding preference from from beagle-search-tool to the keybinding capplet (affected module: beagle) This is bug 410759, Bastien said he can write/monitor this one. 6. Move the keybinding preference from from deskbar-applet to the keybinding capplet (affected module: deskbar-applet) This is bug 413538, Bastien said he can write/monitor this one. 7. Make the invest applet work on vertical panels, and make it handle panel configuration changes properly. (affected module: gnome-applets) This one should probably be written/monitored by Vincent... 8. Reinstate the "locate pointer" feature and add a configurable keybinding for it instead of hardcoding "Ctrl". (affected module: control-center) This is bug 480457. Bastian is willing to support this one, too. Details: "...you could add it to the multimedia keys backend, nick the effect from the old code, add a schema, integrate in g-s-d" 9. Add some compositing effect for tooltips (e.g fade in) (affected module: gtk+) Owens comment on this one was: just have them do a prototype, not a full implementation; needs good guidance). I'd be willing to write this one up. 10. Measure icon cache effectiveness (ie how often do we render svgs or scale because a size is missing), desktop-wide (affected module: gtk+) I'd be willing to write this one up. 11. (follow-up to 10). Add support to gtk-update-icon-cache to optionally scale icons to missing sizes or prerender svgs. (affected module: gtk+) Owens comment on this one was: too big/hard. I'd be willing to write it up anyway, if you think that is ok.
