Yeah! Google Summer of Code

So this year I decided to send a proposal to be a student in the summer of code, and I’ve been chosen!! In my project I’m going to be working on some awesome for gedit, see: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Multiviews for what we have in mind. I hope to have some news soon.

Also I’d like to thank Google, GNOME, the great community and specially to my mentors Jesse, Paolo and not my mentor but still there when is needed Steve

gutachter for gedit

The other day I saw the announce by Sven Herzberg about the gutachter tool, so I decided to make a plugin for gedit. The plugin can be downloaded from my github: http://github.com/nacho/gutachter . I hope you enjoy it, and kudos to Sven for making this tool and a so easy to use API.

gtranslator needs help

In this post I want to comment a little bit about the progress on gtranslator. In the past months I fixed several critical bugs and I added a few cool features. Though nowadays I’m not having so much time to invest on implementing big things, I’m just bugfixing. So I was wondering if anybody would like to invest some time in this project helping us to implement some things that I have in mind:

• A new backend for the translation memories using sqlite. Currently we are using libdb and it is becoming a pain to maintain.
• Provide a way to fill automagically the header fields.
• A plugin to provide a glosary (Easy stuff but it would take some time)
• Finish the project manager I made some time ago and maybe deal with damned-lies with it.
• Add some interfaces to be able to open different documents. Right now gtranslator only deals with PO files. Or maybe create some conversors and manage everything with po files internally.
• Seal the API and provide bindings for python or vala.
• Bug fixes in general.

So if you are interested in this project feel free to join us in the #gtranslator channel on GIMPNET to tell you how you can start helping.
