It would be nice if everyone who is involved in SoC could provide a
short status report - the overall progress, maybe some results (screen
shots are usually very useful :). Or problems, if any.
I am mentoring two projects:
Proposal for implementing vector layers in the GIMP
---------------------------------------------------
Henk Boom is working on implementing vector layers for the GIMP and
has made nice progress. He basically has vector layers that work, a
rudimentary dialog for the stroke/fill properties, which could use some
HIG/GUI review, which is probably the place where input from you would
be helpful.
The vector layers do not yet get stored in XCF, there is a crash lurking
somewhere, we lack some updates (which I just figured out with mitch to
be a missing gimp_image_flush ()) and additional stroke types would be
nice, although they are probably the least important now.
Check out the soc-2006-vector-layers branch of this stuff and play with
it. I hope Henk is reading this as well and will get good input from
you.
Henk logs his progress at http://lunarcrisis.pooq.com/Gimp/SoC2006Log .
Proposal for wavelets-based imaging applications in GIMP
--------------------------------------------------------
Divyanshu Vats works on several wavelet based image manipulation tools.
His first thing was a JPEG2000 plugin, he is now working on denoising
and inverse halftoning.
This is more a research-type project. He has some interesting results.
Since he is mainly working on standalone plugins the code is not in the
GIMPs cvs yet.
He logs his progress at http://deebuv.wordpress.com/, although I've seen
stuff that is not visible there yet. From the images he mailed me he has
inverse halftoning basically working, but I did not see that code yet.
I'd welcome if both of my mentees (?) would present their view on the
current status on the gimp-developer mailing list as well :-)
I hope this helps,
Simon
