[bcc gnustep-dev@]

On behalf of GNUstep project, I'm sending the same ideas from last year --
sadly, they never ended up on the ideas page for 2014.


- URL to your project's homepage.
http://www.gnustep.org/
- A paragraph describing your project.
GNUstep is a console, desktop and web application development framework for
development using Objective-C. It is based on OPENSTEP specification, and
is today interested in achieving compatibility with Apple's Cocoa set of
frameworks. GNUstep consists of gnustep-base (classes for strings, arrays,
dictionaries, timers, sockets, et al), gnustep-gui (classes for windows,
buttons, textboxes, et al), gnustep-make (a build system) as well as an
assortment of development utilities and bonus libraries.

------------

- Title for the idea.
Improve Core Animation implementation and integrate it into AppKit
- A paragraph describing the idea.
During summer of code 2012, Core Animation has been implemented for
GNUstep. During summer of code 2013, Core Graphics backend has been
implemented for GNUstep using our library Opal. In order to improve
compatibility with Cocoa, as well as make it easier to implement
modern-looking applications for GNUstep, a student should integrate CALayer
with NSView and improve Core Animation where required.

This would also make it possible to use Chameleon, an implementation of
UIKit, with GNUstep.
- Contact point for students interested in the idea (usually development
mailing list).

- A paragraph describing the idea.
During summer of code 2012, Core Animation has been implemented for
GNUstep. During summer of code 2013, Core Graphics backend has been
implemented for GNUstep using our library Opal. In order to attract more
developers to free platforms, as well as expand availability of
touch-enabled applications, a student should create a UIKit-compatible user
interface library and improve Core Animation implementation where necessary.

I hope to be able to provide advice to students for these two ideas, either
as a formal mentor or informally. If it's not going to be me, we'll find
another contributor to take over the role.

If appropriate, feel free to note that we are definitely open to other
ideas from students. These happen to be the ones that I am personally
interested in and is not an exhaustive list of projects that the GNUstep
project could make use of.
