Hi, <div class="gmail_quote">I made a SoC 2008 proposal at the Blender Foundation to be able to fetch about anything from withing a running Blender app. About anything meaning : models, materials, new blender binary updates, scripts, nodes... The proposal in its current state is here (a publish google docs with which I will update my google SoC some time before the deadline) : <a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dcsrtj3t_92g33hrcgx&hl=en" target="_blank">http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcsrtj3t_92g33hrcgx</a> The proposal will see changes today or tomorrow as far as phrasing is concerned (someone looked it over and told me what did not sound very english or was difficult to understand). In that application, I propose amongst other things, to integrate a GHNS client into Blender, and to develop a template PHP code Blender content repositories implementing the GHS server call API (a data.kstuff.org-adapted back-end+front-end version for Blender data, whose frontend people could customize). A part of the GHNS client would have to be coded in Python (although all the GHNS scripts are in Perl), because Python is simply what Blender is extended with. Could you let me know your thoughts of my proposal ? What I propose for Blender, could actually be generalized for Inkscape... Does the GHNS project mentor anything for the 2008 SoC ? Apparently, there are more than 20 proposals at the Blender foundation and I am not sure if mine would be retained.... I'd be OK to work on a SoC for the KDE group or other organisation, and work to integrate GHNS into more pieces of software such as Inkscape, Gimp, Scribus... so I would be so grateful if you knew where I could apply as well elsewhere than for the Blender Foundation to have more chances to work a Summer of Code this year... . I think that I should complement my proposal with links to graphics. Would you have any diagrams describing the way GHNS works that I could use and adapt for my Blender proposal ? I know that I'm posting this lately. Sincerely, Jonathan-david Schröder -- <a href="http://www.jaxtr.com/myselfhimself" target="_blank">http://www.jaxtr.com/myselfhimself</a> </div>
