What does anyone think about coding Hugin for cluster processing e.g. using Pooch? Would this be an idea that could go on the Ideas page?

Bruno, I hate being on the bleeding edge, but I'd like to try some clustered stitching for a larger project. It looks like distmake requires POSIX http://distmake.sourceforge.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php, and it seems therefore is OSX compatible. Is there any kind of tutorial, manual, or someone willing to have a conversation off line on how to approach this? I'm not afraid of terminal, but a little coaching would be a great blessing. I'd be happy to write up results and a tutorial if I can get it working.

More good ideas on the ideas page would be good too. that ideas pages could use a lot of attention. the more the merrier. we need ideas, but we also need to characterize and categorize them. would be good to assign summarized difficulty levels (easy/medium/difficult/wizard) and community priority levels: how important is the project for the community: (low/medium/high/critical). would require more work but would be even better: assign a vetting exercise to each one of them. E.g. for Threading for Hugin the vetting exercise I'd suggest is to start a thread that pops up every ten seconds a window showing a message. extra bonus: the message should show relevant hardware information (how many concurrent threads can be run) and system information / system load. also improvements/projects can be categorized in: * hygiene factors: basics that must be there for the app to be up to date * uncharted territory: new features expanding the map to the future * civilization: fill the voids inevitably left in the first run at uncharted territory * paper-cuts: improving on the rough, invisible edges that sneak on the user and frustrate them last but not least: in the past the most successful projects were student's ideas, not community ideas; and they were successful because of the combination of enthusiasm, vision, skill. Be ready to take a student idea into the framework. I'll be mostly unavailable during application/inception because of personal commitments (buying a home, moving about 1000 Km further West), but can and will help the same way I helped Bruno, with materials from the past years and advice. I won't be able to mentor. I may be able to contribute a couple of hours here and there.

Since we always had such people, the next step was creating a bunch of wiki pages with initial information and then we worked on getting interested students. That's about it. A possible improvement would be to structure the ideas pages a bit better so that creating a bunch of wiki pages becomes more like: cleaning up and updating the ideas pages (removing ideas that have been implemented / made outdated and adding new ideas). One single point of entry page, listing all the potential ideas. For each idea, the degree of difficulty (hard/medium/easy), how important it is (e.g. importance ranking from 1 to 5), how big it is (e.g. small project, 3-months gsoc project, large project) plus a link to the details on a specific idea page. This will give potential volunteers (not just GSoC students) an idea of what they could contribute to Hugin. With all the current commitments I won't be able to do full administration this year (I can help with wiki stuff and with writing proposal text though) and I never was a mentor. So we need a primary admin and some mentors to get the ball rolling. too many current commitments here as well. Can't be admin. Can't be primary mentor (we usually assigned more than one mentor per project). Can't write proposals. Can mentor whoever will do the admin role. Last time I checked (i.e. during GSoC 2009) there were three of us registered as admin - Pablo, Alexandre, me. Whoever takes the admin role, one of us will have to approve / upgrade. Yuv P.S.: GoogleGroup's webpage says 630 messages since last log-in - I won't catch up with all of them (the GoogleGroup webpage does not seem to tell which one they are). Will try to have a look at the topics list and see if something attracts my attention. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups hugin and other free panoramic software group.
