Just a quick heads-up that have two potential mentors and two "ideas" submitted for the 2012 Google Summer of Code from the ODF Toolkit project.
If are a student, or know one who has applied for GSoC, you might note these two ideas as ways in which they can participate and advance the larger ODF ecosystem. One idea is related to creating command line tools that can manipulate ODF documents. With these, users, from power users to data wranglers can create powerful document-driven scripts without any programmers. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODFTOOLKIT-308 The other idea is to add RDF support to the ODF Toolkit. RDF, the cornerstone of the "semantic web" is a way to extent the familiar WYSIWYG document to include additional networks of meaning. RDF is new to ODF 1.2,and this is a great time to show the power of this new capability. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODFTOOLKIT-50 More information on Apache and GSoC: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2012/apache And the general GSoC Homepage: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012 Regards, -Rob
