Hi, Sidhant,
The deadline for GSOC applications was in early May. Google assigned

Respected Sirs,
While browsing through GSOC 2013 website , I came across the details
about LyX Word Processor and expected projects from Interns.
Being a fifth semester student in Electrical and Electronic
Engineering from PESIT Bangalore India , my Interests definitely
leaned to AI in which I have progressed a little. These fields have
led me to concentrate on , Jawa Script , C, C++ , embedded C and
microcontroller programming details about which you will find in my
attached CV.
IDEAS I WILL LiKE to work on
*Project:* Toolbar customization dialog
*Brief Explanation:* Toolbars are an important component of the LyX
experience and they are used for various tasks ranging from generating
the PDF output to formatting and math editing. LyX provides users with
a flexible mechanism for toolbar creation and customization. However,
its biggest drawback is that it can be performed only by editing
configuration files in a text editor. The goal of this project is to
develop a dialog that would allow users to create and customize
toolbars via a graphical interface. This would eliminate the burden of
studying and understanding the syntax of configuration files, and of
performing toolbar modifications in text mode.
*Expected Results:* A working prototype of a dialog in LyX that allows
easy creation and customization of toolbars. There is already some
work done toward a preliminary implementation and the student would be
expected to complete it.
*Knowledge Prerequisite:* Knowledge of C++ is required, and while
experience with Qt is nice it is by no means required, as it can be
learned relatively easily.
*Prospective Mentor(s):* Abdel
Sirs , I hope you will accept me as an intern for above project under
