Please don't send this kind of email to the admins directly. gnome-soc-list is the appropriate list for this kind of discussion. We will be triaging all the ideas posted on the ideas page, but in the past proposals have been accepted that were not on the ideas page. Just because an idea is triaged low doesn't mean an awesome proposal wouldn't get it accepted. On the topic of this idea specifically, since this is the second email we've recieved on this topic, I'm not sure it would be extremely sure it would be high priority since [1] indicates this is an experimental file system and not yet in heavy use and isn't the default fs for any distro yet. In the past we've focussed on projects that make life instantly better for users (see Cheese) or things that improve infrastructure or development tools for developers, documentation writers and translators, but there's no guarantee we will go the same way this year.

(which means: this could be a project we're interested in if you make a good proposal ;-)) Really -- what's important when applying to the summer of code is to make a really solid proposal. This is what will help you get selected. Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés.

In order to facilitate that process, we wanted to make sure there was plenty of low hanging fruit to grab. To that end, we would like to make several of the Next Gnome Goal Candidates [1] official Gnome Goals. Please look at these goals over the next week and reply with comments so we can improve the goals as needed. The proposals to be made goals are: * Update about dialogs: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/AboutDialog * distcheck: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/DistCheck * Replace gnome_help and gnome-open calls with gtk_show_uri: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveGnomeOpenGnomeHelp * Remove markup in translatable messages: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveMarkupInMessages [1] http://live.gnome.org/action/login/GnomeGoals From brandon_lewis@berkeley.edu Wed Feb 25 19:00:00 2009 Return-Path: X-Original-To: gnome-soc-list@gnome.org Delivered-To: gnome-soc-list@gnome.org Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by menubar.gnome.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 41CFB75008C for ; Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:00:00 +0000 (GMT) X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at gnome.org X-Spam-Flag: NO X-Spam-Score: -6.599 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-6.599 tagged_above=-999 required=2 tests=[BAYES_00=-2.599, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED=-4] X-Amavis-OS-Fingerprint: Linux 2.6, seldom 2.4 (older, 4) (up: 832 hrs), (distance 12, link: ethernet/modem), [128.32.61.106] Received: from menubar.gnome.org ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (menubar.gnome.org [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id Eqd-zK4CPLSm for ; Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:59:53 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtp-out1.berkeley.edu (smtp-out1.Berkeley.EDU [128.32.61.106]) by menubar.gnome.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A82F67500CD for ; Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:59:53 +0000 (GMT) Received: from c-24-130-24-6.hsd1.ca.comcast.net ([24.130.24.6] helo=[192.168.2.83]) by fe1.calmail with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.68) (auth plain:brandon_lewis@berkeley.edu) (envelope-from ) id 1LcOyv-0003NL-4Y; Wed, 25 Feb 2009 10:59:46 -0800 Message-ID: <49A59526.5050608@berkeley.edu> Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 10:59:50 -0800 From: Brandon Lewis User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 (X11/20090105) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Siddharth Prakash Singh , "gnome-soc-list@gnome.org" Subject: Re: Google SoC 2009 Idea References: <8298be230902241006g35d3defk2bb0b6ae516ad1d9@mail.gmail.com> <20090225152009.GO24217@vuntz.net> In-Reply-To: <20090225152009.GO24217@vuntz.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-BeenThere: gnome-soc-list@gnome.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.10 Precedence: list List-Id: Summer of Code discussion List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:00:00 -0000 > (which means: this could be a project we're interested in if you make a > good proposal ;-)) > > Really -- what's important when applying to the summer of code is to > make a really solid proposal.

But I would add that you need to work closely with the project that you want to work on for SoC, since these are the people who decide if you'll be accepted. If you want to work with the gnome slider project, well, start talking to the gnome slider people. Now. The two SoC stints I did evolved out of previous contributions.

It can be added, but rather have other GNOME goals proposed/fixed first. Also potential string freeze breaker (have to wait until 2.26.0). > * distcheck: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/DistCheck Not sure if this is too difficult? There are no instructions how things should be fixed. Not what was intended as a GNOME goal IMO. Perhaps solvable by saying that on the page ("this is difficult and there are no guidelines, good luck"). > * Replace gnome_help and gnome-open calls with gtk_show_uri: > http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveGnomeOpenGnomeHelp +1 > * Remove markup in translatable messages: > http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveMarkupInMessages As specified in the bugreport, this depends on http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveLibGladeUseGtkBuilder, which isn't a GNOME goal. Further, you'd have to wait until after 2.26.0 (although is not far away). I propose the following additions: 1. http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveGnomeOpenGnomeHelp 2. http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveLibGladeUseGtkBuilder #2 needs better instructions though. The migration instructions it links to is incomplete. Should be updated by someone who knows all details (saw in some bug that you had to specify a mime type in some file.. POFILES or something, this due to intltool) -- Regards, Olav
