GSOC 2008 ideas
This is a list of ideas for Google Summer of Code 2008. They are marked with the level of difficulty (if you had a expirience with some of the proposals, difficulty can be relative).
Participants can propose own ideas too.
| Idea | Difficulty |
| Write a detail HIG (Human Interface Guidelines) documentation for EDE. This includes active participation and discussions with the core developers | easy |
| Validate current EDE 2.0 and edelib code on BSD's, Solaris, Minix and non x86 platforms. This also includes writing needed code so EDE 2.0 and edelib can be compiled and run on the given platforms | medium |
| Add UTF-8 support in edelib | medium |
| Improve UTF-8 support in FLTK | medium |
| Finalize EDE Login Manager (frontend, gui, code is done; backend is needed) | medium |
| Add an active timezone widget (like in evolution) in edelib | medium |
| Integrate better imaging code in edelib. This includes saving to the various formats and optimized (with assembly) image transformations. It will also require a writing compositing code that should work on FLTK <= 1.1.7 | medium/hard |
| Develop a new portable audio mixer library. It should allow using advanced features of the current audio driver if audio driver that supports | hard |
| Develop a new portable audio library. I should be a transparent binding for alsa, oss, esound and various input libraries, like mad, ogg, wav etc. | hard |
From all participants is required solid knowledge of C++ and knowledge of the FLTK library.
