Re: [Gimp-developer] summer of code
Greetings, Lorelei. Based on your introduction, there are several GIMP related projects you could work on. In regards to the Python related project, the main person to speak is Manish Singh. I am interested in your work with Scheme as my main involvement with GIMP revolves around Script-Fu and its script files. The use of DrScheme to provide a better way to interact with GIMP while developing or debugging scripts is interesting. Another possible GSoC project would be enhancing the Script-Fu console to make it easier to test and debug scripts. In terms of priorities, a unified scripting interface would most likely be given a higher priority than an improved Script-Fu interface. However, project selection is based on the votes the student proposals receive. If you are selected for a project involving Script-Fu or Scheme I will most likely be selected as your mentor. In preparing to start on a GIMP related project there are several things you can do. You should join the GIMP developer mailing list, introduce yourself on the #gimp IRC channel, and set up a build environment on your computer so you can compile GIMP from source. You should also have a look at http://developer.gimp.org/. If you have questions about GIMP, or setting up a build environment (it can be tricky to be sure you have all the needed packages), feel free to ask on the gimp-devel mailing list or on IRC. For most general questions about GIMP you can usually get a quick answer on the IRC channel. Most of the active GIMP developers can be found on the IRC channel at varying times throughout the day. -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |What are we going to do today, Borg?

Re: [Gimp-developer] summer of code
Thanks for the response. I'd certainly like to see our work, which we called DrFu, become more widely used, but I'm not sure what it would take. Right now setting it up involves having both the GIMP and DrScheme installed separately, getting our files into the right directories, and then using a script that opens both programs and gets them communicating. My first thought is that MrEd would need to be distributed with the Gimp (from what I can tell, it's currently only available bundled with DrScheme) and then I could write an interface specific to this system rather than relying on the existing DrScheme program, which does a lot we don't need. That would fit with the work I've already done, as creating a new interface is something I looked into last summer but didn't have time to finish. I'd then want to convert the system from relying on the script-fu server to directly interacting with the procedure database. The server was pretty clearly not designed to do some of the things we want from it, and I think this would help make it less fragile. The concern I have with this plan is I don't know how reasonable it would be to add MrEd as a dependency. Maybe there are other strategies?

True, although it seems like a better edge-detector than anything we have so far.

Please submit your application to Google, and try to include anything make makes it possible to understand what you're going to do. One thing you might consider is that it appears that you already have working code, and in that case, converting that working code into a working GIMP plugin is usually a fairly straightforward process that is far less work than the scope of a typical SoC project. If there is a way you can think of broadening your proposal, it would help. You obviously have the education and experience that is most useful in a GIMP collaborator. There are several example projects you might be interested in tackling alongside converting your code into a GIMP plugin. Perhaps one of those captures your imagination. Some of them involve plug-ins, so would be a natural tie-in. You also might want to propose doing some work in translating the GIMP UI and/or help into your native language. While pure documentation work is not allowed by Google, I see nothing that forbids *any* documentation work, and depending on the state of the translation of gimp into your native tongue, it could be a great help to us. Still, if you do that, I suggest that you make at least one other proposal (Google allows you up to 20!) in case it gets disqualified.

This looks like it could make a nice GIMP plug-in. There's a tutorial at developer.gimp.org about writing a plug-in and the GIMP source tree has lots of examples.

Hi, elf [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am a student of MSTU and I have participated in developing alrithm that converts halftone black and white image to array of lines with certain parameters that can discribe parent image. There were some of requirements that we have observed: - It must run as fast as possible, we consider that that our algorithm can work in real time, without any delay. - It has to represent a full list of line we needed to solve our problem and there must be no false lines. At the end we got the complete working algorithm and I think that may interest the GIMP project. And also I think I can include this algorithm to GIMP. This will be a usefull function I thought.
