[GSoC '15 Ideas] Finishing up on enhanced text boxes in Draw?

[Matteo Campanelli]

Hi all,
last summer I worked on this project
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Successfully_Implemented_Ideas#Improve_Text_Boxes_in_Draw>
for GSoC '14. Part of it was completely implemented, part was not. In
particular, the results for "overflowing-text dynamics" are still too much
of a work in progress (for a quick intro to the task and a (somewhat
accurate) summary of the current situation, see here
<https://matteocam.github.io/output/announcing-chained-text-in-draw-a-prototype-implementation.html>
).

It would be great to finish that task and I would like to know whether you
guys think it can make a sensible proposal for GSoC '15.

If the question is "Is there enough work left to be done to fill a whole
summer?".
Maybe not, but my feeling is that there is plenty of work to fill at least
half of it. The rest of the time might be spent working on a neglected part
of last year's proposal: hyphenation in Draw.

Looking forward to comments.

Cheers,
Matteo
