Hi developers,
I found something on the blueprint that I really want to work on :-) It's the NFT dialog : « New From Template » dialog. For more informations see : http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/NewFromTemplateSpec
Um, I'm afraid I never finished the spec, sorry :(
It's supposed to be quite a difficult piece of machinery internally, and some things have already changed. E.g. it mentions ccHost integration, whereas these days it would rather by GetHotNewStuff integration (e.g. inkscapestuff.org) which alone is probably worth a GSoC project.
Also, the bit regarding procedural templates probably requires changes in the way extensions register themselves in menu etc.
I'd love to mentor you, but with no real programming experience whatsoever I'd make a lousy mentor.
