I am delighted to announce that I am contributing to GNOME Crosswords as part of the Google Summer of Code 2025 program. My project primarily aims to add printing support to Crosswords, with some additional stretch goals. I am being mentored by Jonathan Blandford, Federico Mena Quintero, and Tanmay Patil.
The Days Ahead
During my internship, I will be refactoring the puzzle rendering code to support existing and printable use cases, adding clues to rendered puzzles, and integrating a print dialog into the game and editor with crossword-specific options. Additionally, I should implement an ipuz2pdf utility to render puzzles in the IPUZ format to PDF documents.
Beyond the internship, I am glad to be a member of the GNOME community and look forward to so much more. In the coming weeks, I will be sharing updates about my GSoC project and other contributions to GNOME. If you are interested in my journey with GNOME and/or how I got into GSoC, I implore you to watch out for a much longer post coming soon.
Appreciation
Many thanks to Hans Petter Jansson, Federico Mena Quintero and Jonathan Blandford, who have all played major roles in my journey with GNOME and GSoC. 🙏❤️
