Hi !
Unfortunately, as Andriy Rysin will not be able to mentor the Keyboard layout project this year in GSoC, I would really urge other experienced developers to mentor the project.
I might seem to be a bit selfish here but, I have been talking to Andriy about the projects earlier and I have already started getting along and have even drafted a proposal for the project :
Integrating Input Methods with keyboard layout configuration [1]
Automatic layout switching based on text input context[2]
only the writing part is left for the proposal
As both of the projects are adding new feature to the module so there is very less interaction with current module, most of the part is new and I guess there are a very few places where I can get stuck. Also I have just ported the keyboard module to framework 5, by removing most of the warnings and errors due to use of deprecated functions, which has made me more comfortable with the module than ever.
In the worst case I think Andriy can provide some help, though I will need thumbs up from Andriy himself along with which he'll be doing me a great favor ! :)
I am graduating this year so this will most probably be my last GSoC as student and I really want to participate.
I am really looking forward that someone, please come forward as a mentor to me for GSoC this year
Thanking You
cheers !
