Hi everybody,
It feels pretty nostalgic to be back to coding for inkscape after the last
gsoc year. Last year along with Jon Cruz, we achieved some of object
oriented build up in the codebase. This GSOC as well I would wish to
continue on the same. I'll be glad to have community's views over this years
milestone. As in what code customizations and cleanup and further
enhancements are supposed to be done this year. I will be delighted to have
responses over this.

Hey Abhishek,
I think that Jon's input would be great as for scope and goals of a project
for you this year. If we don't hear from him in the next day or two, I will
look into things and chime in on it.
Cheers,
Josh

Hey Josh,
It would be nice to have this thread produce a bit more suggestions and
comments. That will be really helpful.

Hey Abhishek,
I completely understand. If we don't see more suggestions in the next day or
so, then perhaps it may be a better idea to push for some standards related
proposal rather than refactoring. Hopefully Jon, Ted, or one of the
refactoring/internals knowledgeable mentors will have some input. If not, as
mentioned, standards compliance has surely been a hot topic so far.
Cheers,
Josh

Hi,
If standards compliance comes into picture I'll back-up "Improve handling of
CSS" as a project. Instead of libcroco we can go for "htmlcxx" and thus
use
c++ entirely for the job. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I think this would actually be a much more appealing project idea this year.
This is a two birds, one stone thing. If you feel more interested in this
than that is an even bigger bonus (more interest usually equals more
productivity). My main thing is that I would love to see it used as a
separate library from the start instead of bringing in-tree.

Hi,
So when we are talking about CSS handling in terms of standards, so what
exactly is wrong with the current implementation??

Also though we wish to use a 3rd party library for the purpose, there are
very few available (htmlcxx, CSSTidy) and none of those are maintained
actually :(

So there can be yet another approach to read the parsing from webkit or
mozilla's codebase, but I don not know as to how much complexity that task
involves....

Hi everyone,
I peeped into inkscape's codebase to see the usage of libroco as a CSS
parser. I found that sp-style-elem.cpp holds the main and entire usage of
the croco parser. The function *sp_style_elem_read_content(SPObject
*) *holds
the usage of croco parser for parsing CSS formed till now in the memory, if
I am not wrong. So kindly tell me whether my findings were correct or not.
This is the area which we need to focus on right?? Instead of libcroco we
might have to change the code to instead hold *"htmlcxx". *I would humbly
ask Inkscape developers to provide inputs over this, so that I may get help
framing a suitable application for GSoC 2011 regarding project - "CSS
Handling".
