Seems about par for the course. Anyway, thanks Russel! You've been a great help. The person from Google said that I should be able to switch administrators, but they did not seem to have any idea on how that would be done, but I will make sure you don't get stuck as admin. Martin, have you signed up for Melange yet? To busy with the release stuff maybe :o) Cheers, Craig

It seems that what such a library would provide, where it should go, and should we even have one, has elicited many different views ... hard to believe that such a thing could happen on the D forums :o) Even more amazing is the scope of such a library being so slim its hard to get the abstraction wrong! Anyway, my concern is, is there broad support for such an effort (obviously a few or sold on it) and if a student worked on this, would it be accepted by the community? Maybe, but without a mentor there is no chance of it.

Do you not sleep or something? I do sleep, a lot actually ;) I think for GSOC we need to have projects that are at least up and running, and provide them with something to work off of. This effort (Window Creation/Image Library) stills seems very much in the 'conception' phase, and my personal feeling is that until the exact goals are fleshed out a bit more it would be a shaky platform for a GSOC project. Window creation isn't conception. Its a very nice reality :) I was just throwing it out there however about an image library. In case somebody wanted to mentor for it. There is the following project however: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/szqsscsvcbpjjeelk...@forum.dlang.org How is that related to what you are proposing? Maybe Vadim could be enticed to sign up as a mentor? We're not ready to start working on GUI's. We need to get the base libraries like image done first. They are far more important!

Hey, you are already doing web development! Do you not sleep or something? lol, he might be just about as crazy as me... I've already written all that. In here: http://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd there's the web stuff, simpledisplay.d is a window lib, color.d (especially plus png.d and bmp.d) is a basic image thing, and simpleaudio.d does cross platform sound. I'm not sure any of my stuff would pass the phobos bar, but it all works well for a lot of things I've done. minigui.d builds off simpledisplay.d to do some gui widgets (still needs a lot of work though), and I'm working on doing some games with it too (simpledisplay.d can make a opengl context easily). I don't think my image library would pass it either. But windowing yes definitely. Hence why I'm saying we will most likely need a new image library for phobos. Although in saying this, it might be worth my time at some point to invest in major refactoring and improvements to your sound module. Push it out as Devisualization.sound or something. Then again that would mean file formats like mp3 loading/saving would be needed. Suddenly just the graphical stuff seems hard enough.

This is a requirement, so I really need someone to volunteer for this position, which with a little luck will require exactly 0 work, and will bring you great honour and prestige. What administration tasks? I might be able to do this. I am still getting up to speed on this. I've been mostly focused on the proposal/ideas page up to this point. Again, the backup is just in case I can't fulfil my duties for whatever reason. Of course if someone wants to take on this role and be more involved I would be very glad to work together. The following site gives a run down on the duties of the administrator. http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoring/managing-the-mentors/ 2) DigitalMars is listed as the mentoring orgnaization. Should we register rather as dlang.org? There has been some discussion about a D foundation a few month ago. As far as I remember people where shying away from the legal complications, so that won't change any time soon. Makes sense.
