Hi Matthew,
I'd really like to participate in Google SoC and specifically with the
GIMP project. I am only a second year CS major though and so am still
in the early stages of my education. I'm interested in the
search-based menu browser idea, but was unsure how to form a
proposal.
thanks for your interest in participating.
We are currently discussing the SoC project ideas at
http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-developer/2007-March/thread.html#17379
There are different views on this project - see Peter's and Akkana's
mails. Maybe you want to participate in this discussion as well - you
could tell us why you did choose this idea, for example.
The GIMP Soc wiki says that an application should include a time line
for implementing the certain parts of the proposed project. I have
experience with C , but not with anything on the scale of gimp, and so
although I can imagine how I'd practically break this problem down
piece by piece, I'd need a little help getting started with the code.
If you can break up the project in smaller pieces, then you've got a
time line. It will list milestones instead of dates.
Does anyone have any advice for how I should get started writing my
proposal?
You can summarize how you do expect the menu browser to work, from a
user's point of view - where it will be shown in the ui, how the user
can interact with it, and so on.
This will decide about the steps that have to be done from a developer's
point of view, and this is when you can being to assign milestones.
HTH,
Michael
