Re: GNUstep Summer Of Code Deadline!

[Daniel J Farrell]

Hi folks,

I just wanted to get some opinions on the summer of code and the work  
load.

I'm a final year post-graduate so quite busy as it is! That said, I  
would really like to get involved in a project. However, I don't want  
to start something and, for time reasons, do a crappy job.  
Realistically, I could code for two or three evenings a week. Just  
wanted some feedback on what you thought of this? Might it be better  
to defer to someone else?

I'm very open to suggestion for a project. I use GNUstep primarily  
for scientific computing so would be interested in projects revolved  
around that, but I understand that this is quite a specialised area  
and might not be useful to GNUstep as a whole. I would be interested  
in coding some sort of graphical data display classes, such as the  
narrative framework (http://sourceforge.net/projects/narrative) or  
perhaps hardware accelerated vector class? I have started playing  
with Python recently; would GNUStep benefit from some sort of python  
integration?

I have been programming in objective-c for almost 2 years and in my  
time have slowly been incorporating GNUstep objects into my code. So  
far, I have good familiarity with strings, arrays, dictionarys,  
enumerators, numbers etc. from the base and bezier paths from the  
GUI. Before that I only have the coding experience that comes with a  
physics degree!

Any advice?

Cheers,

Dan.
