Hi,

I'll just say the same I did on Nepomuk list - try introducing yourself, say something about your experiences and knowledge of DigiKam and most importantly, what would you like to work on :)

Hi,

I can mentor-ship you, if you share your skill and your coding
preferences. I have some pending tedious subjects to code in digiKam
or kipi-plugins...

Best

I have done some amount of coding using Qt(C++) and i am also fine with using python. A little time to get acquainted with the new libraries if any will be sufficient.

Which one. Give me some example on the web.

What do you know in computer science ? Database, threads, imagery,
algorithm, GUI design ?

We don't care about Python here. All digiKAm & co source code are in KDE/Qt/C++

I haven't done courses in any of these but i know threads, GUI Design (using Qt). If you could suggest i would learn the imagery part.

Parthasarathy,

Sorry for this delay, i have been busy with family. It's Christmas
time here (:=)))...

I propose to start, a little job in mediawiki plugin. This tool is
dedicated to post images in mediawiki based web services, as
wikipedia.

This tool is currently disabled here, due to some missing feature.

What do you think about to work on it ?

Parthasarathy,

Look at this line from kipi-plugins :
https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/repository/revisions/master/entry/CMakeLists.txt#L449

... just uncomments these lines to working on. this will enable
mediawiki tool for compilation.

For multiple reasons, this tool is not able to be used properly in
production, especially with wikipedia. This tool use a shared library
named libmediawiki here :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/libs/libmediawiki

There is nothing special to do in this lib. Only plugin need to be
patched to support some missing features, descibed in this bugzilla
entry :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206842#c11

Guillaume Paumier work at wikipedia organization. You can talk with
him through this bugzilla entry for details. In this comment #11, he
explain all missing features to switch this tool in production.

Also, from my viewpoint, the site manager is very basic in this tool
and must be improved. Url are hardcode in tool. It's better to be able
to edit url of remote web service and to store last used url in kipirc
config file.

To work on this subject, i recommend to use git/master code of digiKam
software compilation, where kipi-plugins and libmediawiki are present
:

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/digikam-software-compilation

Follow README file to checkout all the rest of the code.

To review your code, please post a patch against git/master in
bugzilla entry #206842. Me and Guillaume we will take a look.

Let's me hear if you need more information.

Best
