Dear ?ukasz,

thank you for your interest in working with gnucash in the GSoC 2011 program.
Did you already build gnucash from SVN? If yes, you can already experiment with some test changes in the GUI to see how working with the code will feel like.

As for your explained features: It will be a good proposal to work on an alternative GUI. Your GSoC application should be a bit more specific in terms of the goals you have in mind. E.g., you should create a mockup of your GUI proposal (e.g. in Qt designer) and explain how your proposal will be better than what is currently there, or how your proposal fits better to specific user requirements than the current GUI.

Also, your export idea is a good goal as well. This is a different task than the GUI work, but nevertheless a good idea, as the goal is quite clear. You will have several different technologies available for writing such an exporter. Some python script inside gnucash is one possibility http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2011-March/031506.html , but C code or C++ code (either in cutecash with qt or src/optional/gtkmm with gtkmm) or Scheme script is possible as well. You can pick one of those options for your proposal, but keep in mind another option might turn out to be better during your work, in which case you will have the option to switch to the other technology.

Zitat von ?ukasz Spas <lukasz.s...@gmail.com>:

Is there any possibility in this project to put my own ideas?

Sure there is. Your ideas are a good start for your application. If you extend your application on the points mentioned above, I believe this will be a good proposal to the GSoC team.

Best Regards,

Christian
