Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Google Summer of Code Ideas
A proper IRC client. I know Empathy does IRC, but it is unsuitable for real use. Try opening a few dozen channels in its tabbed interface. Try idling in a busy channel. All the real IRC clients either *are* a terminal app, or look like terminal app in a GTK window. Compare some screens from Textual to XChat. A client with proper spacing, alignment, typesetting, focus... In short; a design-driven IRC client. I think this should be doable in 3 months.

The interesting work items for it are 1) btrfs snapshots or even old copy-on-write versions of files outside of snapshots as storage medium, instead of a dedicated partition and 2) Integration into applications, much like for Contractor clients -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Google Summer of Code Ideas
I was thinking about a visual programming experience for the end user who might be unfamiliar with bash. Also, depending on implementation, the app could reach beyond the scope of elementary, becoming useful for other distros. Just my two cents.

Contractor is designed to be operated by the user, its actions are not designed to be automatable. Actually, automating such actions is an unrelated problem, but IMHO shell scripting suits that use case just fine already. -- Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Google Summer of Code Ideas
Well, there's a number of visual programming environments out there already and I can't see how this relates to elementary specifically. It's more of a project for the Raspberry Pi community. -- Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
