Hi. My name is Rishabh Kumar, a second year undergrad at IIT Roorkee, India. I am pursuing a degree in Applied Mathematics. My contact details : IRC nick - Rishabh , Rishabh_ Email - kris.kr...@gmail.com kris.kr...@yahoo.com I would like to take up the task of Reviewing the modeless dialogs & their moving to sidebar under the GSOC 2015 as a student developer. Previously I have worked on the following UI related bugs/features bugs- 1. #89085 (merged) 2. #64573 (merged) 3. #80758 - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/14498/ (not reviewed) 4. #81073 - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/14488/ (not reviewed) Currently I am working on - 1. #80657 2. #82641 3. #87995 I intend to commit my changes soon . I am always available on irc for any suggestions on my commits.
I have been working on the project idea for a some time.I intend to improve the usability of sidebar for the applications Writer, Impress , Calc and Draw by moving the dialogs to sidebar and reduce the use of titlebar in libreoffice applications. LibreOffice sidebar is still not used to its optimal capacity as it contains relatively few number of widgets in comparison to it size and certainly , it is possible to add more number of widgets to improve User Experience . To start with , I looked into the commit which added the "Manage Changes" dialog to the toolbar . It gave me an idea about creating controls in sidebar. I am familiar with glade interface designing. I have compiled the list of modeless dialogs for Writer- Insert(Main Dialog) (Sub Dialogs) Break Table(with delete and select functionality) footnote/endnote Bookmark shapes fields(document,cross reference,functions) special character customize bullets and numbering title page auto-correct options I will send the list of dialogs for other LO applications soon . Pardon me for any of the intended dialogs which I may have missed. I am pretty confident in creating the dialogs in sidebar and if the proposal demands , I can submit a patch which creates the sidebar dialog for any of the above mentioned dialogs. Since this project requires more of UI validation, I hope to get support and ideas from the community. And some queries- 1. Is there any particular template for the GSOC application of libreoffice(Any examples of good proposal from previous year) ? 2. As the size of the proposal will grow with the discussion , how should I organize it so that it is visible to everyone in the community?(I suppose emails are not the best way). Thanks.
