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?"
