Few tips for SOC: * Something I am guilty of never getting to was speccing out a search based interface to filters (plugins). I believe a search based interface will be more efficient than navigating through a nested structure of a menu. * Improve SIOX to give

Hello, I would like to develop a plug-in for The Gimp, but I don't know if it would be accepted as Google SoC project or need to be a contribution to the core of the program. If it were possible my purpose is: - Implements the algorithm based on the paper capturing a black cat in shade:

Hi, just a quick idea: How much sense would it make to try to turn Raphael's approach to metadata editing into a SoC project? I suspect that Raphael might be able to find enough time to mentor it. Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list

Hi, we could try to propose this as a SoC project: - Redesign and reimplementation of Save and Export in GIMP. Change the semantics of Save and Save As so that images are always saved in the XCF file format. Only the native GIMP format really saves all the image information and allows to

Hi, another thing that came to my mind: - Add a (unit) testing framework and tests to GIMP. Details are left out for now but the idea is to get more unit tests and to make it easier to add and maintain them. But also to have more complex test scripts that perform GIMP operation using the PDB.
