As some of you may already know, I teach programming in Far Eastern
National University
and encourage students to participate in open source projects for
their course works.
Among opensource projects I recommend are Free Pascal and Lazarus.
Last year one of my students already participated in FPC development
with moderate success (see http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13700).
This year, I expect 1-3 more students to choose Lazarus/FPC for their projects.
So I request community for a suitable ideas -- projects should be
reasonably self-contained, not too hard, require actual coding and
be interesting enough to motivate students.
Students will work on projects they select from October 2009 to April 2010.
Another thing possible is to implement the package mechanism.
Most of the basic stuff is already in the compiler (dynamic libraries,
RTTI, etc), but there is a need to bring that together in something
easily usable (maybe add a XML-based manifest in the package, add some
code to check compiler compatibilities, etc). Demos can be provided and
I can provide support to one or several students on how to achieve. Of
course, the FPC and Lazarus team needs to tell us how they want to
integrate the feature. We can also breakdown the work so that it is
achieved over a couple of years..
Best regards,
Thierry
