[Gimp-developer] GSoC 2008 - final evaluations
Hi, the final evaluations for Google Summer of Code have started. Please log in to the mentor and student dashboard and complete the forms. The code and progress up to the 2008-08-18 19:00 UTC is considered to be the base of the evaluations. It is not forbidden to continue working on the code, though. If there are any problems or questions, do not hesitate to ask for support. From what I've read in IRC and the mailing list, great work has been done this time, and I'm looking forward to try the resource tagging, text editing, python additions and frequency domain processing myself soon. But in the meantime, it would be nice if there would be a summary with screenshots (or even video?) for each project, to enable as many people as possible to see the results for themselves.

[Gimp-developer] GSoC 2008 - final week of coding starts
Hi everyone, on Monday, the final week for coding during this year's Summer of Code begins. This date is the suggested pencils down date for the projects - e.g. no major overhauls anymore, check what you've got so far and concentrate on making this work right. The final deadline is 2008-08-18, 19:00 UTC. The evaluations are to be done on code that has been submitted until this date. This is also a good opportunity to show off what you've already got - not everyone has the time or possibility to build the different branches or the knowledge to really grasp what you did, so a short presentation with some screen shots and some explanatory text can greatly increase the recognition of your project.

Re: [Gimp-developer] GSoC 2008 - Welcome, students!
Hi, thanks to Michael for giving a warm welcome to the students. I think he already mentioned pretty much everything. One detail that wasn't mentioned is that GIMP development is currently closing in for the GIMP 2.6 release. We will make detailed plans for this at the Libre Graphics Meeting. For the GSoC students this means that SVN trunk is not open for any experiments. You should do your work on a branch that is created for your particular project. The mentors will assist you with this. With some luck, GIMP 2.6 should be released around GSoC mid-term evaluation. At that point we can then check which projects are already in a state that can be merged into the main tree. We would really like to get all the features you are working on into GIMP 2.8 so that our users can benefit from your work as soon as possible.

[Gimp-developer] GSoC 2008 - Welcome, students!
Dear students, welcome to the GIMP and GEGL part of Google Summer of Code 2008! We are very happy and excited about your projects, so let's make sure that you do know all that's needed for making them successful. The two most important steps are related to the source code: Getting the most up-to-date source code --- GIMP and GEGL source code is managed in a Subversion (SVN) repository provided by the GNOME project. You can access it with a web browser at http://svn.gnome.org and use the viewcv feature to have a look, but in order to get whole modules you will need to use the Subversion client svn. Getting the GIMP and GEGL trunk source code via anonymous SVN access is then as easy as svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gimp/trunk gimp and svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gegl/trunk gegl You should make sure that you can build GIMP and GEGL from this source code - it requires a few more tools than building from a release package. Getting write access to the repository -- When you are working on your project, you will have to be able to commit your code to the Subversion repository from time to time (do not worry about breaking anything, you will be able to work on your own branch of the source code). You will need an account for the GNOME repository, though. The procedure to get an account is outlined here: http://live.gnome.org/NewAccounts and it links to the request form at https://mango.gnome.org/new_account.php Full name and permanent email are obvious. The username has to be connected to your real name in some way, e.g. like mine: schumaml - SCHUMAcher MichaeL For the SSH key, follow the procedure described in http://sysadmin.gnome.org/users/security.html Mention that you are a Summer of Code student working on a GIMP or GEGL project in the comment field, and choose the 'Access to Subversion' option from the Abilities. The GNOME project that can vouch for you is GIMP or GEGL, select it from the drop-down box near the bottom of the form. Once you got write access, the URLs for the source code access change. For example, you'll get GIMP with svn co svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svn/gimp/trunk gimp With a real login name, this would be svn co svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svn/gimp/trunk gimp Getting help in case of problems All of you have already been on our IRC channels, #gimp and #gegl on irc.gimp.org. So I won't have to tell you that this is the fastest way to get help if you're stuck. You won't have to wait for your mentor to appear there, almost everyone should be able to help you with general questions. Only if you need to get into details of your project, then your mentor might be the only one who can help. For topics which do require longer texts (e.g. containing code), the developer mailing lists are better suited. http://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html Stay in contact with your mentor Make sure that your mentor does know what you're doing on the project. Tell him about the planned steps and agree on how to proceed with the project. Next Summer of Code steps - We're currently in the Community Bonding Period, which runs until May 26. Nothing prevents you from starting to code early, but maybe you want to take some more time to get familiar with all of the how to create a patch, how to add some code, how do I not break anything else... :) Regards, Michael -- GIMP http://www.gimp.org | IRC: irc://irc.gimp.org/gimp Wiki http://wiki.gimp.org | .de: http://gimpforum.de Plug-ins http://registry.gimp.org | ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

This would make it a lot easier to write GIMP plug-ins as developers would have less hassle with UI code. == SVG brushes == VBR brushes in GIMP - basic shapes like ellipses, rectangles and rhombuses; with additional spikes - are scalable. In SVN trunk, all brushes including the pixmap-based ones can at least be scaled down. We do not yet have means for more advanced brushes (think about a brush consisting of two disjoint circles) that can be scaled up in a lossless way. Using SVG files as brushes could help to solve this. I don't think that SVG brushes is enough for a GSoC project. Adding a loader for SVG brushes can easily be done over a weeekend. What would make this a lot more interesting is to add the infrastructure in the paint core to actually make use of transformable brushes.

Hi there! We have some ideas for Google Summer of Code project in the wiki, but all of tehna re dangling since last year. Mos t of tehm look good, but some may have been obsoleted in the current devel cycle, or would involve changes in code that is going away in the cycle. I am posting the full set of ideas bellow and asking for commetns on ideas, new ideas, and overall, people who would be willing to mentor a stundet through some of them. regards, js -- http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/SummerOfCode2008ideas - [BOTTOM][TOP]GSoC2008 Project Ideas Please note that, although you are welcome to look at what is here, this is a workspace for mentors to write down and modify their ideas, and suggestions here should not be taken as necessarily viable projects until they have been finalized. Also, the fact that something appears here does not necessarily mean that anybody has volunteered to mentor it. Note to people who add stuff here: Please try to add information about a prorpsal's overall complexity and experience that could be helpful. E.G. experience with GTK+, image manipulation algorithms, web application development, ... Filetype registration There is currently no way to register a file type to open with GIMP from within GIMP itself. On some desktop environments and platforms, this makes registering types to open with GIMP awkward. We need a configuration GUI within GIMP, which does show the available types and/or file extensions, and a means (a backend) to register them according to the platform/environment. The latter should probably be modular and extensible, because this is different on each of them. Resource management. Currently resources such as brushes, gradients etc are shown to the user in an unstructured way, only sorted alphabetically. This greatly limits the number of items a user can deal with. People love to make collections of things, so this would greatly enhance the user experience. It has been suggested that this should not be a finite set of categories, bug rather tags. Create an SDI manager widget. Would allow all of GIMP's windows to be contained in a single parent window, as requested hundreds of times by Windows users. (This would be optional, not forced on people who don't want it.) Plug-in stability effort Tests have shown that it is possible to crash plug-ins when feeding them bogus data via the PDB API, for example when calling them from scripts (another interesting approach might be to run file loader plug-ins with [WWW] zzuf). Needed: a test framework to find the bugs, and then time to fix them. Additional file format plug-ins There is a number of file formats that GIMP should support, but doesn't or at least doesn't support fully, for example MNG. The MNG save plug-in needs to be modified to save images in MNG-LC profile. Then a loader can be easily written to work similar to the GIF loader. It also needs support for JPEG chunks. On-canvas text editing Right now, the text tool opens a dialog window where the text has to be put. Nearly every other option of the text toold is in its tool options dialog, so it would be nice to get rid of this dialog as well. Search-based menu browser The amount of menu entries in GIMP - either from plug-ins, scripts or internal functions - is huge. The name of a particular function might be easier to remember than its menu location. Being able to search for the function and applying it to the image without having to go through the menus can help (similar to Emacs' M-x feature). Unified UI for scripting We have three major scripting interfaces, Script-Fu, ?PyGimp and Perl-Fu. All of them allow to create an interface for a script easily, just by registering a function with their respective parameters. However, all widgets look a bit different depending on the binding. 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 lossless continue editing later. So only saving as XCF should clear the dirty flag of the image. Saving to other formats than XCF is done by exporting the image. The File menu should have an Export menu item (and perhaps also Export As). Unit testing framework GIMP currently doesn't have a test framework that API changes or internal changes could be tested against. This is crucial to avoid regressions, especially with the major rewrite we will seen when GEGL is introduced. Work on GEGL [WWW] GEGL is a graph based image processing framework. It will be introduced into the GIMP trunk after 2.4 has been released. Processing is done by the nodes of the graph, which are implemented as so-called operations or 'ops'. A good introduction to the current state of GEGL is the [WWW]

Hi, Iṕ've been talking to Schumanl and Prokoudine this afternoon, and they agreeded to indicate me to be GIMP's Google Summer of Code Admin (mostly: contact person), for 2008 edition. I am willing to pick the role, but I have to know if everyone agrees, or if someone else would like to do it (Iḋ'd still colaborate). Regardless of that the window for registration starts next Monday and it will be somewhat short. So we have to get things ready at http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/SummerOfCode2008application and even more important (as this application is most bureacratic stuff I can fill in), we have to arrange the ideas we'd like to see implemented in this years' project - here http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/SummerOfCode2008ideas We have up to March, the 12th to have this in order. If I am in charge I'd prefer doing it even earlier. This is not unmutable though, and even applying students can suggest their own ideas.
