What about Mozilla? There are many outstanding Hebrew-related bugs, that are waiting for fixes. I guess most of the semester will be spent getting "in" the code, and the rest on producing a fix.
The list of outstanding BiDi bugs is the depenancies of this meta-bug: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115707 http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=115707 One annoying bug is this one: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174470 Alon > I was told that Tel-Aviv University is giving an interesting workshop > this summer: a workshop on writing free software. See: > > http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~eddiea/workshop-summer-2003.html > > According to that page, the students will be taught a bit about Linux and > free software (including a lecture by our esteemed friend, Muli), and then > asked to write software in small 2-3 person teams, using open source and > free software methodologies. > > Needless to say, if we (the community) are "given" a bunch of bright students, > it would be great if instead of writing the N+1th free tetris clone they > would actually work on something the community needs - perhaps even something > that the Israeli community needs. > > Like is written in the aforementioned page, good free software usually stems > from a real needs. But it is likely that most of these students used Linux > very little (if at all) and are unlikely to know what is really needed. > I'm sure the teacher of the workshop will give them ideas, but I thought it > would be nice if people on this list could also raise ideas for project, > and I'll pass them on to the students (I know one of them). > > Please read the workshop's page for what the projects have to be. In short, > it should be something that 2-3 people can do in a relaxed summer, something > useful and non-trivial, something that involves programming (it cannot be only > about translation, for example). It would be nice if the project had an added > value for the Israeli community, but it can also be something which has > nothing to do with Israel. > > I hope that other universities will follow TAU in this nice initiative. > > -- This message was sent by Alon Altman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ICQ:1366540 GPG public key at http://alon.wox.org/pubkey.txt Key fingerprint = A670 6C81 19D3 3773 3627 DE14 B44A 50A3 FE06 7F24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=[ Random Fortune ]=- Someone is unenthusiastic about your work. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
