heya, in general the gsoc concept is a bit heavy on our personal resources. i cannot promise to do mentoring.
i think your project ideas are great though. some of them could be very large scale projects (full featured timelapse), some more sunday afternoon (black frame). the list might require some sorting. i would really like to see lens center moving and hdr alignment (multi scale patch match as in google phones), both of which require some low level math and careful implementation. sooner or later the colour checker lut repository will have to be installed, too. that might be a cross-project effort, i know rawtherapee also has great interest in collecting chart images for profiling. i hope we can talk about this at LGM . fwiw i'm no fan of automatic rating/selection/face detection. feels like an algorithmic social media bubble. also, henrik did have an implementation of similar image search and he removed it after it has been there for quite a while and was apparently left unused. i like aurelien's idea about exif/iptc/dam. and yes, i very much agree that c++ is not my favourite langauge. that said it's perfectly possible to interface into it, that's just a matter of doing it. the metadata handling would need a good concept to get it right and not make a mess of it. we'd probably want configurable stuff to be shown as overlay and in the metadata tab, as well as a generic way of handling pretty much arbitrary tags in the sqlite database. i'm not sure how a generic user interface could be much better than the straight sqlite3 command line binary. i think houz spent some thought on it in the past. cheers, jo On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 12:08 AM Oskar Maier <oskarmaie...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > out of personal interest in working on Darktable this summer I send this > quick reminder: Organizations can apply for the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) > 2019 from tomorrow until 6th of February (so more than 3 weeks).
