Dear reader,
I have been using Dia quite a lot, and as a Software Engineer, I like to
help with development.
Welcome to Dia development ;)
As a user, I do have a number of wishes (including
dynamic resizing in UML diagrams), but I understand there might be other
more important issues.
Even as the maintainer I like to find my own personal itch to scratch and
it is sometimes even related to UML ;) Unfortunately the objects/UML
include the most complex object implementations Dia has (especially "UML -
Class") and there are already some issues pending, which would require
major restructuring.
* group changing of attributes with side-effects
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629620
some logic required to manage undo/redo information is in GUI code
and thus currently not available when using non UI calls like
UML/class.c(umlclass_set_props)
* missing of meta info property page in UML - Class property dialog
The whole property GUI of 'UML - Class' is implemented especially for
this specific object and thus can not benefir of generic propery UI
implemented in lib/prop*
* strange resizing of 'UML - Lifeline', see:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587319
Basically contradictory requirements which need a good idea to be both
implemented.
These three are all on my wishlist for Dia 0.98, but I doubt I'll find the
time to properly implement them myself.
If there is anything I can do, I am willing to help.
I hope there is some correlation between your own interests and the small
selection given above. If you need more information to get you started
please do not hesitate to ask.
I have expertise in C and C++ as well as Python.
Fresh blood is very welcome and your language selection is a perfect match
for Dia. There is some limited C++ code in bindings/ and plug-ins/wmf, the
had-written python bindings including some plug-in samples in Python in
plug-ins/python and a lot of C code everywhere else.
I've tried to document some of the Dia design with Dia in samples/Self.
HTH,
Hans
