Hello, I have already updated SummerOfCodeIdeas wiki page about that but as it's coming a bit late in the GSoC schedule, I'm also posting this here.
So, here is a project idea for the GSoC: One of the main area preventing XCB wide adoption over Xlib is input support. There are some information there[0] (incomplete ATM but it's a work in progress) about the current status. This SoC project involves porting Xlib keyboard functions to XCB and working on related X extensions (such as XKB, XKB2...). You don't really have to know XCB, so this project would definitely be a really good starting point if you are interested in low-level X programming and work on something that will be widely used (XCB is supposed to be the future of X client library). If a student is interested in writing a proposal for this subject, don't hesitate to send an email to [email protected].
