[Digikam-devel] Re: Needing ideas for Rosedu's Open Source Development Course

[Gabriel Voicu]

Hello everybody,

First of all, thank you very much for all those many ideas and sorry for
responding so late(didn't have internet
for some days, have an exam...).

I will propose two projects:
- GUI refactoring for one/some plugins (I will speak more with the
organisers about this)
- The idea proposed by Michael about keeping tracks and supporting KML.
Also,
  maybe I will also put the idea about displaying the gpx/kml files in a
list.

I will try to keep the projects as simple as I can, because the course is
addressed to
students from 1st year that don't know really well how to code. Also, I
don't know
how involved will they be in the projects so I prefer to give them something
simple
to be sure they finish it, instead of giving them something more "advanced
for them"
to be afraid to start.

Another question will be:
1) How will the coding process work? We will send patches and one of you
will review them?

I was thinking now: it would be nice to have all these nice Junior Jobs
listed somewhere (on Digikam page?),
because I think that it would help more new people to gen involved in
Digikam. I mean, when one wants to be
involved in a project and don't know which project to chose, having an
"Ideas list" about Digikam will help him
choose this project and get started.

Again, thank you for all your ideas
