Google Summer of Code - Raster Functionality in Inkscape
by Christopher Brown 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

Dear Inkscape developers, My name is Christopher Brown, and I have just submitted my application to the Google Summer of Code for Inkscape. My abstract follows in this message, and my full project description can be found at this location: http://audiere.googlepages.com/gsoc-description.pdf "Inkscape was built purely as a vector editor – a GUI, you might say, for SVG. But the need has arisen for raster capabilities within the Inkscape application. Previous to this capability, the user would have to perform such raster post-production in a different application, such as the GIMP or Photoshop. Often this may not be anything more complicated than a punch/explosion effect or a windswept filter. This can be accomplished by integrating these effects, especially those provided by ImageMagick, directly into the Inkscape interface. The results will not be SVG, unfortunately, but they will be bitmaps, as the user desires." I hope soon to be working with you guys, -Chris

Short question regarding SoC application

Or will the Google people be annoyed if they have to click their way through separate homepages for each project application? In the latter case it might be better to submit the proposal's full text, including a link to the page. I would prefer the first approach, though, since it allows for easy updates of the information.

I think it's an important aspect of such an application that it is finished, done, fixed, defined on deadline. A projects goals and ideas may have to be redefined, but you need at least a snapshot for evaluation, which should be archived. Later on you can go back and see how the project started ... Including actual content you need to have anyway in the application is easy. Not doing so means taking an entirely unnecessary risk. -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Creature Illustrations: http://www.printfection.com/thorwil

Patch for Bug 1669652 Uploaded
by Jeff Schiller 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

To whomever does the documentation (tutorial) builds for Inkscape: I've uploaded a patch http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1688080&group_id=9… on the Patch Tracker. I'm not sure who can look this over and verify, then merge it - but it corrects three small problems found with the Basic Tutorial. Thanks, Jeff Schiller

Illustrations for a planned 3D box tool (SoC)
by Maximilian Albert 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

Hi, I am planning to submit a proposal for the 3D box tool as a Summer of Code project. For illustration purposes, I have collected a few ideas and prepared some graphics regarding possible features. This is meant to get across how it would "feel" using the new tool. This "virtual tutorial" is still somewhat preliminary, but everyone who is interested is invited to have a look at it and make comments. Any input is highly appreciated. It can be found at http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~malbert/ Thanks for your attention! Max

SoC: Officially applied!
by Gail Banaszkiewicz 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

Ok, I've done it - I've officially applied through Google to SoC. My application pretty much just points to this web page so that I can update it as comments come in: http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~gbanaszk/code/soc07/index.htm If you read through the proposal PDF, you will see that I've tried to leave things fairly flexible. Hopefully this will be a key to success ;) Feel free to comment, good or bad! Gail

Bulia, which filter effects do you think we should focus on next? -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Nicholas Bishop <nicholasbishop@...400...> To: MenTaLguY <mental@...3...> Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] SoC proposal: ImageMagick effects in Inkscape Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2007 01:37:44 -0400 I've had a look through the filter effects, and I agree it would be more worthwhile for me to work on implementing them. Do you have any recommendation as to how many new filter effects I should tackle? I don't really know enough about the system yet to estimate how long each is likely to take.
