Hi everyone, Regarding the call for GSoC ideas in the recent ESC minutes:
I would like to propose a project for "Legacy Feature Removal and C++ Modernization" (175 hours). My recent work on tdf#162563 (Java Applet removal) showed that cleaning up "zombie features" requires significant vertical work across the Registry ( officecfg), XML persistence (xmloff), and runtime (stoc). Proposed Scope: 1. Architectural Cleanup: Identifying and removing obsolete integrations that bloat binary size and memory. 2. C++ Refactoring: Replacing legacy patterns (e.g., std::bind to lambdas) to improve safety and readability. Would a project focused on this type of "Technical Debt Cleanup" be a viable candidate? I am happy to draft a detailed description if this aligns with project goals. Best regards, Shlok Kanani
