Re: Google Summer of Code 2009

Hi!

I won't be a mentor and unfortunately can't be a student but I would
like to make a project proposel.

"Design of an api for embeding abiword as a widget in third party
applications"

The action items could be:

- Search for existing rich text widgets (in Gtk, Qt, MFC...)

- Compare the existing widgets apis and try to find out what works good
and what not

- Compare different applications embedding a rich text widget and find
out what was easy for the developer to achive and what was hard (e.g.
look at tomboy, sugar write, gedit...)

- Make a proposal for an easy to use widget api based on the
libabiwidget api

- Adapt libabiwidget api to this new/improved design

- Code small sample programs showing the different functions to use the
widget (load/save documents, change text style from code, embed links
etc.)

Do you think something like this would be a good idea?

Thanks a lot, Fabian
