Hello Graeme
I have added your idea. Please review and complete it, specially the extra credits.
|
Sorry for the delay but due to a catastrophic earthquake here in Christchurch NZ, I've had no power or water for the last 3 days. I'm fine though, unlike a few people.
Regarding the extra credits
1. Converting to PDF - we can do this already, right? I know nothing about it but the table of contents and preferably also the index, need to become a clickable table of contents and a clickable index and also the links need to work - may be a bit of a challenge. Perhaps a project on its own.
2. Convert to google docs format - this was just a wild thought because it's a google thing. Google docs allows simultaneous online changes by multiple users so possibly people could write and maintain an individual help page as a google doc and import as a topic page when convenient. With a proper help infrastructure, people might become more interested in updating the help and the easier it is, the more likely people are to contribute.
3. Automate the mechanism for submitting changes to the help - relating to what I said just above, automate the process so that people are more likely to contribute. How easy are topic++ files to diff? Maybe something for a student to investigate. Maybe Google docs is a solution.

Hello Novo
You are right.
Please detail as much as possible, as clear as possible your idea and follow the format here.
|
I've made a small example for Windows.
It works. I'm not sure that this project is a good candidate for GSOC, but it looks like nobody else is using this trick. UPP could be the first.
It is up to the UPP community to decide.
Regards,
Novo

Another Idea:
- Name:
IPC(Inter-process Communication) using named pipes (local host) and socket (network)
- Proposed by:
Ion Lupascu
- Difficulty:
Medium
- Experience required:
UPP, socket, named pipes (POSIX, WINDOWS)
- Description:
Using IPC can create a stable plugin manager with crash prevent (ex: Google Chrome), running parallel scripts of V8 JavaScript, etc. A good experience result is chromium project (Google Chrome).
- Mentors:
Ion Lupascu
- Roadmap:
TBD

My 2 cents: We could even benefit from using the ZeroMQ framework here, that makes an awesome abstraction of IPC/sockets/whatever layers...
I dream of seeing ZeroMQ wrappers in U++. Some C++ bindings already exist.

Thank you. I will analyze this. Is better to integrate a well supported project instead of individual project.

Well, we are (almost) officially candidates for GSoC 2011.
This year there are two new questions:
- If you are a small or new organization applying to GSoC, please list a larger, established GSoC organization or a Googler that can vouch for you here.
- If you are a large organization who is vouching for a small organization applying to GSoC for their first time this year, please list their name and why you think they'd be good candidates for GSoC here:
If you know an organization that could vouch us please try your best  . The deadline is March 11, 2011 at 23:00 UTC.
|
Google people said this in discussion groups:
Google puts a lot of trust into the organizations that are taking part in GSoC. The idea behind this "voucher" is that if you're a new and lesser known organizaton, that you try and find an established org that can vouch for you so that Google extends the trust they put into them onto your org.
You can still apply without it, but if you're really small, new, and unknown, having some other org vouch for you would probably increase your chances.
Best regards
Iñaki

Oh yes, it is official.
Thank you for your effort.

Thank you Koldo for your great efforts!
I thing that we can continue without GSOC. Every of us have our little projects for existence. if we improve our code and make it better, than in a short time we can achieve more success.
Together we can do more!
