The 2013 version of Google Summer of Code has ended. All five projects were successful. Congratulations students (and mentors)! The projects were (* indicates code already merged with trunk):
1) An interactive tool for recoloring artwork. Arshdeep Singh (demicoder), mentored by Ted Gould.[1]
2) Improved units support and consolidating units handling to one place.* Matthew Petroff, mentored by Johan Engelen.[2]
3) Electronics CAD support, focusing on improving connectors and symbols. Sebastian Götte (jaseg), mentored by Tavmjong Bah.[3]
4) A new dialog to create documents from templates.* Jan Darowski (Slagvi), mentored by Krzysztof Kosiński.[4]
5) A new raster-to-vector algorithm focusing on small images.* Vinícius dos Santos Oliveira (vinipsmaker), mentored by Nathan Hurst.[5]
The new raster-to-vector algorithm even has a new tutorial included inside of Inkscape!
I would like to remind students that haven't already done so, to upload their sample code submissions. This can be done on your Melange project page.
