Hi developpers

About GSoC, I have read that this is a full-time job between may and july. But in this time, my studies aren't finished (because of the french school system). That's why, I realized that I can't participate to GSoC.

Anyway, this not a problem for me. My own goal is to contribute to Inkscape and not to earn money with Google. So I'm ready to begin the specs with Alexandre. And then, when the specs will be finished, I will probably ask you for a "mentor" in order to help me programming.

So, I am going to improve the specs when I have time ;-)

see you !

I'll see what I can do. I'm quite lacking spare time at the moment and trying to do too many things at once already.

Albin, I will see if we can get other volunteers to help flesh out the spec a little more... however, if no one is able, it may be a last minute "here are the basics of what you need to accomplish" situation. Then again, this is assuming that we are accepted as a mentoring organization and that slots permitted, your proposal is selected.

About mentoring, I would enjoy that you become my mentor. And for

questions, I think that developers can help me :-)

I'm not sure that it is the right way. I'd first hear from the organization's admin.

That is not the right way. We need to have Albin paired up with a developer as the mentor. That's not to say that Alexandre can not give input and feedback, as I've done that with a majority of our SoC students in the past. Right now we've only had one possible developer agree to be a mentor this year, so if that's all we have to offer (and are accepted by Google), competition with proposals will be fierce.

Cheers, Josh
