Possible GSoC 2010 projects
Import/Export Filters
- XPS export
- XPS import
- Rewrite/update the ODG/SXD importer
- PageStream import filter (file format spec is available here)
- Serif PagePlus PPP import filter (the new XML-based version). No spec available; requires analysis of existing PPP files.
- Quark QXML import filter. No spec available; requires analysis of existing QXML files.
- Colour-managed bitmap export
Text
- CJK support (requires very close collaboration with Scribus developer Andreas Vox who's in charge of the text layout system)
- Support for RTL scripts (Arabic, Hebrew; requires very close collaboration with Scribus developer Andreas Vox who's in charge of the text layout system)
- Rewrite the Text Filter (add character styles, fix the dialog etc.)
General
- Rewrite the template system
- Speed optimisation (requires experience with code optimisation in general, as well as advanced C++ and Qt knowledge)
- Prepare Scribus for real resource management with Viaduct.
- Objectives: 1) Prepare the Scribus internals for Viaduct, b) add DTP requirements to Viaduct, c) prepare a pure C++ library of Viaduct.
- Requirements: Close cooperation with the main author of Viaduct, Inkscape's Jon Cruz.
- Advantages: A lot of freedom when it comes to implementation, because Viaduct is still in its infancy.
- Create a "Document Wizard" plugin for standardised business cards, labels etc., like Avery or Pelikan by using OpenOffice.org's template "database" (actually an XML file)
