Thanks Fred, Projects that I'd be interested in mentoring:
- Finishing NSTextTable, NSTextTableBlock, NSTextList, & NSTextBlock and adding relevant UI components (e.g. OS X has some inspectors for these that let you create tables and lists in a text view). - Implement Cocoa Bindings properly. We have some partial implementations of the controller classes, but they're not finished / tested. With 10.6, Apple shipped an NSTreeController implementation that only causes segfaults occasionally (like, when you run one of their example apps), rather than all of the time (as with 10.5), so people will probably start using this stuff a lot more. - Integrating Opal with -base, splitting out the drawing / event handling code into separate libraries, possibly starting work on UIKit. - Basic CoreAnimation support. The central part of CoreAnimation just does interpolation over some simple functions and modifies properties via KVC. - Porting GNUstep to the browser. I committed an Objective-C to JavaScript compiler to Étoilé svn over the weekend. Many GNUstep classes should work as-is, some will want reimplementing wrapping their JavaScript equivalents (e.g. GSDictionary, GSString, GSArray), and the drawing-related classes will need tweaking to draw on a canvas. The final step would be implementing DO-over-WebSocket, so you can run view and maybe controller classes in the browser, model classes on the server, and have stuff Just Work™ And, of course, suggestions from motivated students...
