Then if you want to do the Qt 6 port, work on a branch and make it public so I (for example) can have a look (don't wait for having finished the port before seeking feedback).

Re[2]: Frescobaldi?
Hey all, I've been looking over the Frescobaldi codebase for the last few days, and it seems to be within the realm of something I could pick up maintenance for. There would definitely be a learning curve, so hopefully it doesn't reach it's EOL too soon... But, I don't know, I feel pretty confident. Not really sure what more info I can contribute to the public discourse at this point, but I welcome anyone else interested with the upkeep of Frescobaldi to get in touch with me so we can coordinate~ -- Original Message -- From "Jean Abou Samra" To "Graham King" ; "N.

The technical stuff is way over my head, but this reads like the top- level description of a GSOC project (in case the mentioned friend doesn't take the bait)... GSoC projects are nice for doing focused work on some specific part of the code base. For overhauling just about everything, I'd be a lot more skeptical, especially since there will unavoidably be fallout to deal with afterwards in terms of bugs, and that's less nice to do if the person who did the port isn't available after the summer to do that part of the work.
