[GSoC 2013] Implementing Writer Table Styles
Hello everybody, I would like to begin by saying what an honor it is for me to be working on such an important software suite. My project aims to replace the current system in which the user must reapply the chosen auto-format for each added cell with proper formatting for an entire table. I have set up a blog to make it easier to track my project here [0]. The RSS feed is [1]. During the next week I will give implementing this feature a good thought and will discuss details with my mentor.

But... lets talk about this maybe tomorrow, we should meet up in
anycase to just even say hello. I will try to write some very rough
ideas of where to start with this, we can then discuss that in some
more detail
Ok so...
first think I would try to do is modify the compiler to accept a
statement like
Dim aVariable as SomeType
Actually this is not so hard to do, the vba support already allows this
( to a certain extent )
e.g. if you open a calc document, create a module in the document basic
and insert
Option VBASupport 1
Sub Test
Dim aRange as Range
End
basic will happily accept that ( and compile without errors )
Best way to find out where that is handled is to do try the same code
without the 'Option VBASupport 1' and trace back compile error ( slap a
breakpoint in StarBASIC::CError and work back )
From there you should be able to work out ( hopefully ) some place in
the compiler where there will be some
if ( bVBA )
{
// don't complain about Dim as SomeType
}
for the above ( if you have trouble tracking it down let me know )
You will need to conditionalize the same thing for experimental mode (
remember on IRC we discussed we need to limit the new functionality to
only run when the experimental features are enabled ) see SvtMiscOptions
( it has some method for telling if experimental mode is enabled or not )
One you have that sorted then hopefully I think the next step is to
tweak the IDE so that you know what 'variables' have been declared via
'Dim aVariable as SomeType'
'Dim anotherVariable as SomeOtherType'
in the current procedure. You need to search around basctl for a
suitable place to do that, I am pretty sure that the IDE already does a
cheap and nasty parse of the source code each time that you type in the
module window ( iirc it does this to update the list of procedures (
SbMethods ) that it is using ) I am hoping that in there you can do
something similar to build a cache of the variable names - variable types.
The next step would be again to hook into where the source is been
updated ( when you type ) there must be some eventhandler doing that (
again you will need to search in the IDE code in basctl for that ) What
I would like to see there is some code that detects a '.' being typed
following one of the already identified variables. For the moment if you
can just detect this scenario and when the '.' is typed and just dump (
all ) the methods ( to stdout/screen e.g. printf or whatever trace
macros people use ) , then detect the following keystrokes and try and
again dump to the terminal the best matches for the method. If you can
get to this point then I think it is time to start looking at
introducing a comboxbox to popup etc.
anyway the initial steps above I think are enough to start with and get
you going
I think you already have a good idea of where we want to get to, anyway
I gave a talk last year about this stuff, there is some highlevel detail
and mockup etc. to be found in
slides 18-22 in
http://conference.libreoffice.org/talks/content/sessions/049/files/basicidewhatsnewandmightbenewlater.pdf
( and also there are some other ideas in there if this task proves to be
too easy ( which it might do ) so don't worry, you won't run out of
things to implement

[GSOC 2013] Code completion in the Basic IDE
Hello Everyone, I'm very excited to do this task in GSOC 2013. My name is Gergő Mocsi and Iám a student ant Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary. Here's what I've alredy figured out: the problem in BASIC language is that it can handle only Object type, and other can be created with createUnoService(...) etc. First, I have to add support to the other type. Here is an example how I wan to do this: Dim filepicker As Object filepicker = createUnoService(com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilePicker) these two lines create a FilePicker that will show up. Later can be used like this: filepicker.setDisplayDirectory(.) filepicker.Title = title filepicker.execute() files = filepicker.getFiles() This code sets the display directory and title of the filepicker, and the execute() method shows it. After that, we get back the selected file. So, if we had a FilePicker type in BASIC, we could do the code completition (beacuse the IDE doesn't know the type, ONLY when executed the code). So, I'd like to implement these types to BASIC language and it would look like this: eg. Dim filepicker as com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilePicker instead of the two lones mentioned above. This would give them a Java-like object hierarchy (that Object type could be the ancestor of them). So the first, I'd like to add language support (for recognizing), and then the iplementation. This means a lot of work, beacuse there are a lot of interfaces to do. Any better ideas?

[GSoC 2013] Improved Android / Impress Remote Control
Hi everyone! It is great to know I’ll work this summer with you, LibreOffice community. It is a honor for me. I’ll work on Android / Impress remote control improvements. I am still discussing details with my mentor, Michael Meeks, but there are some steps I’ll do as soon as possible: revising a communication protocol between desktop LibreOffice instances and remote clients; improve and describe mockups I’ve done for my proposal. When I’ll finish mockups description I’ll put a message to the LibreOffice designers mail list. I sent necessary forms to Google yesterday so there shouldn’t be any problems with documents. I’ll send my contact information to Cedric Bosdonnat and Michael Meeks. My IRC nickname is “ming”. Feel free to send messages to this email address if you have any private questions.

Wow, I'm really sorry you're disappointed ! so am I ! Every year we have to make some really hard choices about which students to accept: in an ideal world we would be able to accept and mentor everyone who applies - however, we have limited mentoring bandwidth. My hope is that your mail will encourage more people to sign to dedicate time as mentors in future. I am not able to understand how he can be selected as if he hasn't worked , this sounds unconvincing to me . Let me try to expand a bit then: proposals are ranked not by a wizard behind a curtain :-) but by most of the potential mentors giving each proposal a score - which we sort by. Of course, I can't read the minds of all the others ranking proposals, but here are some things I'd look for: + quality of proposal + depth of education / open-source experience + prior code contributions to other open-source projects + history of patch submission: + are the patches non-trivial ? + did they start only when considering GSOC, or is this a long-term contributor ? + how much mentoring / help / interaction / hand-holding was needed for each patch + how excited I am about the topic / proposal itself + whether I think the mentor / mentee combined can do a good job and things like that. Please look into the matter Ultimately, the decision is now made; and I'm convinced that, difficult though it was, it was made with the best of intentions by the mentors at large with all the available information (including the commit history) taken into account. We really do work hard at this. Either way - again, I'm sorry you're upset by the result; and hope that you'll consider submitting an application next time: one thing (that perhaps is a problem here) is the issue of having two strong applicants for a single proposal where we can only accept one. As such it can make sense to submit proposals for a couple of tasks in your chosen project. Obviously we don't publicise the names of students that didn't get accepted because that can be through no fault of their own (perhaps they were super-stars but applied to a project with few mentors), and having that permanently googleable and associated with their name might be unhelpful to them. As such, I'd like to say that though we had nearly fifty applicants we could only accept 13 and that you did very well in that ranking.

GSOC 2013 Candidate
Greetings, My name is Ivan Alexandru, I am a second year undergraduate at Politehnica University of Bucharest, and I am very much interested in working on LibreOffice during this year's Summer of Code. I have a good understanding of C/C++ and have used them in the two years at the university but never to work on such a large project. In addition, I am familiar with Java, and also have basic to medium understanding of Python and functional languages like Scheme and Haskell. I have already cloned the repo and built LO under linux. Moreover, I have worked on this easyhack https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60700 and submitted a patch. This, being a first for me, I mistakenly submitted it to the wrong branch https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/3400/ but realized my error and resubmitted to master https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/3401/ . As you can probably see, it ended up not being much to do, although the bug is almost fixed, at least for the examples at hand. I would like to know if this counts towards being eligible, as mentioned in the application guide, or should I begin working on another easyhack to be sure? Also, I have taken a look through the ideas page. Two of them have captured my interest, namely the one regarding Table Styles in Writer and the one concerning ODF Formulas. I have a couple of questions about these: Which of these do you consider more important? (and if neither are on the priority list, please point me to one that is) Are there any other resources I should be aware of in order to get accustomed with the project, aside from the given code pointers?

[GSOC 2013] - More integration with Document Management Systems
Hi all, I'm interested in implementing $subject[1] as a GSOC project since I have some prior experience with coding a CMIS repository. As I understand it, the scope of the project would be to show the version history of documents while opening them from LibreOffice. However, in the wiki page it says showing and editing them in the LibreOffice GUI (where them is the version history). I'd like to know what's meant by editing the version history. Also, does the scope cover implementing front-end calls for services such as checkOut,checkIn,cancelCheckout for documents in a CMIS repo from the LibreOffice open dialog? (Not from scratch, but through libCmis) Any clarification is greatly appreciated :) [1] - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas#More_integration_with_Document_Management_Systems Sagara Paranagama, Final year Computer Engineering, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

I am trying to contributing LO for a while. I was going to try using svg for icons for GSOC but the idea is deleted from the Ideas page. That should be no barrier to you - if you want to do something cool like that, and you're confident enough I don't see why you shouldn't submit a proposal for that. Some large proportion of UI icon loading is localised inside: vcl/source/gdi/impimagetree.cxx And could easily be tweaked for SVG import; of course with SVG we'd need to propagate the desired size around a lot more, and naturally falling-back to non-scalable icons in a partial SVG theme might look poor if the sizes mis-matched; but ... in general it's not so hard I think. More interesting are the startup performance, icon caching etc. issues that are well worth getting right :-) And that would be a little bit hard for me. So I find another and much more suitable idea for me, which is Dialog widget conversion. Sounds great. First of all.

Skill set and aptitude seems a perfect match.

I don't know what to do about second idea but I tried to draw a very basic road map about the first Idea. Great :-) I think i can automate some part of this conversion. I don't have too much programming experience but I think I have enough knowledge for this idea. Automation sounds good; personally I would recommend trying to use Lubos' Clang work, and poke in the 'compilerplugins/' directory - to automate the C++ conversion piece. My first idea for implementing this work is : If I were you as my easy-hack to get involved I would convert one dialog completely, and see how it goes. - I will have a homework about writing a parser in a few weeks so I will have some information about how parsing works. I think this homework and reading will make my work easier.(Because I think this idea is mostly on parsing .src files and creating .ui files with these data.), We already have a python parser for .src files lying around that Kohei created in order to try to automate this in the past. That could be rather useful for you :-) I would start from: git clone http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/build/ git checkout HEAD~1 cd scratch/layout-src2xml have a play in there That has no doubt bit-rotted a little, but no doubt Kohei can give you some ideas on how to improve it. It generates (IIRC) an obsolete XML format - that needs updating to a glad format - and of course, it needs logic / magic to try to build a sensible container / layout tree hierarchy - which is simply not there in the original .src files - which (I guess) is the clever bit ;-) I would like to discuss the possibility of implementing this idea and drawing a more certain road map. Please don't hesitate to comment. :) Sounds good to me. And lastly this e-mail probably have a lot of grammar mistakes.

The code was in C++. I had taken up a formal course in Software Development for Portable Devices at my institution. The major component of this course was Android application development. As a semester project, I also developed an app for a travel startup. The app currently uses local server and the companies algorithms. It has to be ported on their server. The basic version of the app is ready, with few customizations required to be launched. Currently I am working on a team project on Wireless Network Management System, where my part is related with making the front-end user application for the system. It is a client-server application project. I am also experienced with UI design with Java, and am interested in doing a project in the same. I am really interested in Android Application Development.

It's a good set; have you considered this project: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas#Package_and_improving_LibreOffice_Viewer_for_Android It might match your skills well. Currently, I am going through the pointers provided. It would be great if anyone could provide insights on the same that could be helpful towards better execution of the project. Failing that - there was a task to do some work on pluggable python UI that Matus might be able to specify / mentor you for: to allow arbitrary python scripts / extensions to render arbitrary UI elements in place of our current toolbars / menus. That might fit your skill set well if you're interested in UI hacking. Matus - when you've done your setup / heavy-lifting there it would be great to get a GSOC task specced up here.

GSOC 2013
Hi, I want to participate GSOC 2013. I am trying to contributing LO for a while. I was going to try using svg for icons for GSOC but the idea is deleted from the Ideas page. And that would be a little bit hard for me. So I find another and much more suitable idea for me, which is Dialog widget conversion. First of all. Let me introduce myself. :) *TLDR;*My skill set:Python, C , C++,Java,C#. I can read others code. I have a little knowledge about GUI's.. I am a 2. grade computer engineering student at Ege University. I try to contribute Free Software projects as possible.I already sent 2 patches to LibreOffice(I can use Git and Gerrit. Yaay! :)). I did small projects(Homeworks :) ) in C, C++,Java, C# and Python. I feel comfortable with Python. Because one of this projects is about graphs and I wrote that in Python+GTK. That was a milestone for me. It was my first program with a gui and I learned a lot from it. The code may be a little bit messy (and includes a lot of Strings and comments in Turkish) but you can see the code from here if you want : https://github.com/namcojoulder/DSgraph I don't have a problem in reading and understanding others code.I think I can learn easily a programming language if it is needed because I am taking a course about programming languages(Design and concepts, mostly theoretical). ** I find interesting two ideas. -Dialog Widget Conversion -Implement a about:config functionality I don't know what to do about second idea but I tried to draw a very basic road map about the first Idea. I think i can automate some part of this conversion. I don't have too much programming experience but I think I have enough knowledge for this idea. My first idea for implementing this work is : - Investigation about .src files and .ui files(and a little debugging). Caolan McNamara has a great blog post about this conversation already,(Before coding starts) - I will have a homework about writing a parser in a few weeks so I will have some information about how parsing works. I think this homework and reading will make my work easier.(Because I think this idea is mostly on parsing .src files and creating .ui files with these data.), - When I had enough Information about parsing and widget files I can do some work with Python for automating this process. I would like to discuss the possibility of implementing this idea and drawing a more certain road map. Please don't hesitate to comment. :) And lastly this e-mail probably have a lot of grammar mistakes. Sorry about that :) Best Regards, My Nickname on freenode: efegurkan -- Efe Gürkan YALAMAN http://about.me/efegurkan ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Nice work with the Photo Album functionality - did you add a nice screenshot and credit to: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.1 for it ? :-) Can anybody recommend one for me? Also, I've got an idea: in MS Word 2003, there was a wizard (or a macro) which could create calendar, for month/year with style, etc. Would that be an idea? From my perspective I think: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas#Support_for_Firebird_Database_in_Base is a really nice GSOC task - it shouldn't be extremely hard, but it would be excessively useful and provide a huge win for base users. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas#Follow-me_slide-show Should also be quite fun - with a fair bit of UI improvement work around it. Of course; there are lots of other rather cool things - I like liblibreoffice as a topic personally - it's quite open-ended but should be v. fun to hack on.

Refreshing GSoC 2013 project ideas
Hi all, GSoC is approaching and Google may announce it early february. For us to be ready, I'll need all of you to think on fun, useful and doable project ideas to put on our wiki page. As a first step, I removed all tasks that were done (or almost done) last year or without potential mentors assigned. Please go to the wiki page and edit your projects ideas to fit today's reality. There are projects like the Android UI or the MSPub import filter that may need some more work, feel free to add them back again with an updated description / title. You can also come up with great new ideas. In that case it's the same story than last year: use the template in the page, add an appealing description with code pointers and list yourself as potential mentor. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas Thanks in advance for your help! -- Cedric ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
