Category:Project

This is a early work in progress.

We will try to list here, projects which have been defined for Scribus.

We are defining a template (a structure) for the Project descriptions.

Ping Ale, if you want to know more about it.

(Requirement document?)

Here a reference on how to create a template for mediawiki:

 * create a priority tag...

17:06 prokoudine: get scripter2 working, reimplement StoryEditor as XML editor, improve UI (in              progress), new text engine (in progress), rework fonthandling to include lint from fontforge, refactor ScPainter interface, new file format, more code documentation 17:08 once the new text system is in place: tables (in progress), footnotes, index & TOC, database connectivity, ... 17:11 also implement objects styles and generalize image effects to othe robject types

17:13 then there's community management, website improvement (in progress) and bug hunting

17:09 ScPainter is the interface which handles all rendering in Scribus. There's one implementation for cairo and one for Qt4, and a few more on the windows platform. We need also implementations for PS, PDF and SVG 17:10 I'm working on the PDF implementation, that could be a good template for PS and SVG 17:22 that sounds a bit like reinventing Cairo to be, tbh 17:22 to me 17:22 which already has PS, PDf and SVG back-ends 17:22 well, surfaces 17:22 for CMYK and tagged PDF? 17:23 not that 17:23 but IMO it's way better to fix Cairo 17:23 that would help inkscape too

= Core features =
 * Undo for text frames
 * Finish Scripter2 integration
 * Dynamically loading Fonts

= Tools =
 * A new Story editor
 * Enhance the advanced Select all

= Content structures=
 * Indexes
 * Table of Contents

= Palettes, Windows and Dialogs=
 * Frame Properties Palette
 * Content Properties Palette
 * Text Properties Palette
 * Style Manager
 * Style Editor
 * Use tool settings for Default styles

= File formats =
 * PDF and Transparencies flattening
 * Output also in a screen oriented format
 * Create a library to convert from EMF to SVG
 * Import MS Publisher files

= Notes = pygmee: i was planning to propose to my students to work on some of our projects. So the question is :

- what is really on the way or not ? - what can be done in python (they have some really basic knowledge in C, and i guess nothing can be done in our timeframe unless in python) - any other simple idea to implement ? i rather make them work on several little projects than on a huge (it can be on the PP or any window redesign too)

I'm actually not sure but it might happen from March to mid-april. Actually, i don't know their programming level because i was not their teacher for that, but as they did more than 120 hours actually, they must have enough knowledge to do some things.
