Dear Smalltalkers,
Let we apply this year again for the Google Summer of Code, which as you know is a Google's stipendium program for students to encourage them working on open-source projects [1]. Ok, our first step as community is to collect ideas for possible projects and to apply to the GSoC as an organization. Deadline is next Friday, so please hurry on with ideas. Just put them as reply to this email or to admins directly and we will put them on our website [2]. Your project idea should be written as answers to these questions: Name Level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) Possible mentor Possible second mentor Description Technical Details Benefits to the Student Benefits to the Community See how such ideas look like in past: http://gsoc2010.esug.org/ideas. Waiting for your ideas Carla and Janko, your GSoC Admin team [1] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012 [2] http://gsoc2012.esug.org -- Carla F.

Project ideas for GSoC, 7 days left!
|
|
Hi everyone,
7 days to deadline for ideas of this year GSoC! Please think about what would be a nice project for students to work and that way join our community. And yes, students are welcome to propose projects too! Let we "recycle" past project ideas too! Please review them and propose those still valuable. Or change the proposal to suit better. Here they are: http://gsoc2010.esug.org/ideas . Let me and Carla post GSoC related stuff only on Pharo, Squeak and VWNC mailing lists while for other let someone forward those mails there please. It is just too hard to post on 10+ mailing lists, you know... Past GSoC mentors please join the debate on special Smalltalk GSoC mentors list: http://groups.google.com/group/smalltalk-gsoc-mentors. If you want to be mentor this year you are welcome to join that list too.

Hi Tudor,
No I haven't, but we plan to build one for the animal genetics domain in a few months. Have you tried to build a (glamour?) browser over RDF/XML? It would be cool to have the structural knowledge of an ontology browseable, and a graph displaying the entities and relationships, like the OWLViz in Protegé 4 (see the example of pizza.owl in http://www.semanticfocus.com/blog/author/name/cody/) Cheers, Hernán 2012/3/2 Tudor Girba <[hidden email]> Hi, |

Name: Search Indexing of Smalltalk image
Level: Intermediate Possible mentor: Aik-Siong Koh Possible second mentor: Ian Chai Description All Smalltalk development environments can now search for implementors, senders or strings using brute force. The results are usually just listed alphabetically. This project will use search technology to index and page rank all the packages, classes, methods and comments in the image. Search results will be returned quickly and ranked intelligently. It will be a Search Engine for Smalltalk in Smalltalk. A search browser will be created to accept search strings and return columns of hits for packages, classes, methods and comments listed according to their page ranks. Time permitting, an autocompletion capability will be implemented to suggest relevant methods for code writing. The code will be made portable to all Smalltalk dialects. Technical Details The Anatomy of a Search Engine http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html Benefits to the Student The student will learn the important areas of search technology and object oriented programming. The student will experience creating something that is immediately useful to all Smalltalk programmers. Benefits to the Community Fast and intelligent search of Smalltalk code will help the community advance Smalltalk development even faster. Additional programming capabilities can be built on top of the search capabillities. |

Hernán,
With CSS template system you mean, for example, describing the style of morphic objects with CSS syntax? Cheers, Carla. On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 1:26 PM, Janko Mivšek <[hidden email]> wrote: Hernán and Karl, can you or someone else develop your ideas a bit |

Hi everybody!
Please remember that project ideas don't have to be projects to do from scratch. They could be new features or improvements for projects that are already being used or developed. Cheers! Carla. On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 1:34 PM, Janko Mivšek <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi guys, |

Hello,
I'm not sure if it has been done before, but an image provisioning tool would be cool. Imagine a window where you have different image profiles (for example, one for Seaside, one for Aida, one for desktop apps), you just click on it and it creates a minimal image with all the paquets you need. And you can create other profiles by selecting a few Metacello configurations.

Here it is:
Name: Image provisioning tool Level: Intermediate Possible mentor: ? (I don't think I'm active enough here to mentor this project) Possible second mentor: ? Description A lot of developers keep multiple images around for development, and a good practice is to start from a fresh image for each new project. Oddly, this process is not yet included in the common developer tools, so we rely on custom scripts (in the best case) or lots of drags and drops (in the worst case) to manage our development environment. We need a tool to simplify the image management and keep track of all our projects.
The goal of this project is to build a tool to could automatically create new projects from fresh images(ex: Core, Development) and load needed tools and classes (ex: Seaside), and manage those projects (list, delete, etc). This tool could also be used to deploy development code to testing and staging images, and build the production image.
Technical Details The image provisioning tool would need a simple interface to manage the different projects, and be able to launch a new environment and load code in it. We already have Metacello, a configuration and dependency tracking tool, which can be used to get all the needed packets to create a new image.
Benefits to the Student The student would learn a lot about package management and software configuration management, and may be able to build a complete development workflow/
Benefits to the Community The Smalltalk community will gain a useful tool to streamline their development process and gain time in research and development.

Hi Janko,
Here you go: 'ePUB Output for Pier Books' --------------
Name: ePUB Output for Pier Books Pier [1,2] is an extensible object-oriented content management system that includes a book authoring engine. The book authoring engine has been used to document a number of Smalltalk based projects, most notable Seaside [3] as well as Moose [4] and Pharo [5].Level: Intermediate Possible mentor: Nick Ager Possible second mentor: Lukas Rengli Description The goal of this project is add ePUB [6] as an output format to Pier enabling existing and future Pier books and other Pier content to be output in a format readable by popular eReaders.
Technical Details Content in Pier is parsed into a document tree that supports the visitor pattern [7] for traversing the internal representation. Pier currently supports a number of output formats such as HTML, plain text, RSS, wiki text. These formats are generated by visitors. The existing visitors would act as a template for creation of an ePUB visitor which would generate ePUB compatible output.
Benefits to the Student The project is well defined with a clear deliverable. The student will gain an understanding of the internals of a powerful, well structured content management system as well as the satisfaction of having a set of artefacts in the format of the existing Pier book content translated into ePUB format.
Benefits to the Community
The Smalltalk community and others using the Pier book authoring engine will gain ePUB as an output format. With an ebook output format authors have a potential new revenue source, encouraging a virtuous cycle of increasing documentation within and outside the community.
