Hi Andy&Sebastian,
Sorry for my late reply, really thanks for suggestions
and warm-hearted welcome from you guys. I should have replied you guys
individually earlier but I didn't find any reply mail from my mail box
except a late daily digest of the mailing list. Do you guys know how to
deal with this issue?
I was initially attracted by the well organized introduction of ideas
page. My interest is applying what I learnd from classes in contributing to
open source community and learn more things outside classes. I think the
project idea of improving stepconf closely matches my expectation since I'm
currently intersted in gui design of software.
I'm a newbie to linuxcnc and I haven't used the gtk tookit before.
However,after playing the stepconf for a while and having a glance at the
file stepconf.py I felt the tookit used in stepconf is similar to the
Tkinter,which I used to design the gui of othello game in my python class.
I also found that tkinter is a python binding to the Tcl/Tk used in
stepconf so it is not a big deal to learn it. If I didn't misunderstood the
code and tickets, the ideas are adding more options/fields in the current
gui and converting these inputs to the corresponding configuration files,
right?
My question is how detailed should I write my project
description now.Since I only have some basic sense about the program and
structure of the gui, how deep should I dig into the source code before
writing my project description for my current proposal?
Also, since this is first time of my partcipation to the GSOC and I
really don't know how much time it tooks to finish each ticket. Is one
ticket adquate enough for my first try or it is fine to get all of them?

Sincerely,
