Hi everyone,
I am Divyasheel, a GSOC 21 student @ The Linux Foundation( Open Printing). I was selected for this proposal. I had also contacted you before for some concerns regarding the same and made an issue here. I am sorry I couldn’t continue the discussion any further because my proposal wasn't yet selected. But now that it is, I will be really needing your help to actually achieve this smoothly.
I realize that you don’t want me to add a “new” panel to the gnome-control-center since you have been actively working on reducing these panels to make things more concise. Therefore, Till has asked me to complete the following tasks as a part of the program,
Create a standalone environment for testing the application
Adding to the already present print panel of gnome-control-center
Creating a new panel for gnome-control-center that can be used later on if needed.
I hope that this works for you too.
I will be needing your guidance in order to make this integration successful. Could you please provide me with someone who can make sure that my work is in order with the requirements of GNOME and also guide me through the process ?
Regards,
Divyasheel
Hi Felipe,I have created the issue and will continue my discussion there.
Also, creating a new standalone panel would be more suitable because we will also be using this tool for other non-printing DNS-SD advertised services and won't just be limited to print/scan IPP services.

All in all, this could be better discussed in our GitLab instance.Cheers,Felipe.On Wed, Apr 14, 2021 at 12:30 AM Divyasheel via gnomecc-list <gnomecc-list gnome org> wrote:_______________________________________________Dear Gnome Developers,
My name is Divyasheel and I am an undergraduate CSE student at IIT Mandi. I had a query about the panels in gnome-control-center.
I was wondering about the process of adding a new panel into gnome-control-center. To be more precise, I want to add a panel which will act as a GUI interface for managing all the IPP services available in a network( using DNS-SD). I want to add this on behalf of Open Printing if selected during GSOC 2021. You can go through my proposal here.
I was asked by Till Kampetter to make sure that I confirm all the important requirements with you before carrying out such an integration.
Therefore, please guide me on the necessary prerequisites that I should go through to carry out this task.
I’ll be very thankful.
Regards,
Divyasheel
