One of the capabilities the new funded development policy[0] gives us is the ability to specify some projects as immediately fundable, without needing to wait the proscribed 6 months. I would like to propose we select a few projects to pre-approve, in order to prime the pump, and to serve for testing out the process. When we started this whole effort, KK suggested a number of good projects. These perhaps need a bit more elaboration but give something to select from. Would you guys please look through this list for 2-3 projects you think would make good initial fundable projects? Nominate ones that are well-contained and straightforward - things that would make appropriate GSoC projects for example. Please feel free to expound on the project definitions. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Projects I'll collect everyone's nominations into a list, and we'll vote on them. Projects that get >50% vote will be made pre-approved.

I'd nominate SAX parser Extension system improvements Box blur With the disclaimer that I have been looking for work, I'd be interested in tackling the SAX parser one myself.

Overall, though, I think these are of a good scope so as to be fairly completable.

So far we have: On-canvas tool controls (I added this) Boolean operations and stroking SVG 2 SAX parser Extension system improvements Box blur Anyone else want to propose any of the other things listed on http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Projects ? If not, we'll vote on this list.

For this, let's everyone have two votes. You can cast +1 for two different items, or +2 once for one item. The top two will become pre-approved. A few things I would suggest to keep in mind: 0. Just because it's pre-approved doesn't necessarily mean it will be funded. It just makes it available as an idea someone could fund via a separate fundraiser. We're just priming the pump here. 1. The first funded project will be serving as a proof of concept, so we something that's going to successful. So, pick things that are well-defined, smaller in scope, and uncontroversial design-wise. 2. To avoid any possibility for conflict of interests, I think no board members should apply for pre-approved projects. So if there's something in the list you may want to work on, don't vote for it. 3. For the top two projects, we're still going to need to flesh out the project definition, acceptance criteria, etc. So we'll need volunteers to write that up, before we can publicize it.

Bryce, You must have missed my email or it didn't get through (unfortunately it wasn't sent to the board list). Krzysztof will be doing Boolean operations and stroking for his master thesis. I also suggested adding: * Remove all use of GList and GSList. * Clean up all unnecessary castings in C++ classes. Remove unnecessary use of "this". Etc. These topics are more of the "janitorial" task category where it might be hard to get someone to voluntarily do them. (But then they may not generate as many donations.)

SVG 2 features is a huge project that needs to be broken down into smaller parts. SVG 2 compliant flowed text is a great start and has the advantage that there is a natural SVG 1.1 fallback. It will be an implementation challenge as one needs to understand the current text code.

The text is fully editable and the glyphs individually formattable. This is already implemented in Inkscape and you should first become familiar with the current text code that enables it. SVG2 adds new functionality including wrap margin and padding, inside and outside shapes, exclusions, and some whitespace control settings, pre-wrap and pre-line. See http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/TEXT_FLOW/. This project aims to implement these new SVG2 flowed text features for Inkscape, and also providing logical fallback to SVG1.1 if the user saves the document in that format. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View it here: http://staging.inkscape.org/en/project/svg2-compliant-flowed-text/ You can edit the project here: http://staging.inkscape.org/en/admin/projects/project/3/ Comments: * I couldn't find a formal list of exactly what SVG2 specifies, so the second paragraph may be an incomplete list. It should be made complete. * The third paragraph just wishy-washy says "implement me". Really it should give the developer more specific guidance, but I don't know what. * The project system requires a logo of 150x150 and a banner of 120x920. The former shows up at http://staging.inkscape.org/en/project/ and the latter at http://staging.inkscape.org/en/project/svg2-compliant-flowed-text/ I dummied up a couple graphics but they're both crap so you should create something better. * When you edit the project, you can see the completion criteria I picked, which is all pretty generic. You might add to it, such as specifying rendering tests that should be passed, performance goals to be achieved, tutorials to write, etc.
