Hello, I suscribed to the mailing list with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" but I seem to have problems sending emails (I get them) as it returns mail delivery system errors.
Anyway, I tried to sent an email because à want to apply for the keyboard navigation project idea. First let me introduce myself : my name is jerome Cros, I am a 22 year old student in computer science at the Bordeaux I university (france), currently finishing the 4th semester. I want to apply for the « Keyboard navigation » GSoC project because : - I got familiar with the netsurf project, installed netsurf on unbuntu (gutsy gibbon) and found it very interesting. Adding feature that provides navigation from keyboard is an idea I like as using the mouse becomes often frustrating when having both hands over the keyboard. - C is my favourite programming language, and I think having quite good C coding skills (this is the 3rd semester we learn C and use it in various projects). - Searching algorithms is something I like a lot, during last semester we used a lot tree algorithms (avl, heap, red & black trees, binary search trees ...) - Moreover at university and at home I only use GCC compiler (we use it with emacs and gdb on ubuntu or debian linux). If I were choosen for this project, in a first idea I think I would proceed like this : - Just after exams finish (start of May) : become familiar with the netsurf project (code, tree structure ...) - Start creating algorithms to search links or outputs in the tree - test these algorithms - Implement them in C - Integrate this into netsurf - begin to take layout position into account and implement moving in 2D For the last two points I think I will need some guidance from mentors to get this finished right. This would be my exclusive work during the summer (I only will be on vacation one week in August). Weekly or more offen reports to my mentor are not a problem (on the contrary!) If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Sincerly, Jérôme Cros.
