Hi and thank you

we don't assign mentors beforehand, but I think that you show enough insight 
and enthusiasmn that you have a good shot .

I'd suggest that you join #koffice irc channel and speak to the various core 
koffice hackers. Also maybe get started on experimenting with the ideas you 
have. If you can show some progress up front I think your chances are good.

Hi koffice team,

I would like to participate in Google Summer of Code and fix what is
missing from a formula flake shape in Koffice 2.
From a first look at the code, the rendering code seems to be mostly
in place and what is missing is mainly the user interface and correct
loading and saving. I compiled Koffice from svn successfully and I am
able to insert a formula shape, but when I activate the formula tool,
all I can do is entering numbers, even entering letters doesn't work
and the tool dockers ui is basically non functional. It is also quite
easy to crash the parent application (eg kword) by loading some simple
mathml in the shape. If the rendering code is indeed mainly in place
(does somebody know, if this is really the case?), I would first
concentrate on the ui and then the mathml loading and saving. If there
is still more time, I could implement loading and saving of a limited
subset of LaTeX. Do you think this would be a feasible project? Would
somebody like to mentor this? I hope to write formal proposal on
Wednesday when I am back from a trip.

I am a math / computer science student in my last year at the
Technical University of Dresden in Germany. Therefore being able to
write formulas is essential for my daily work and although most of the
times mathematicians (and most other scientists I guess) use LaTeX for
this, when you need a lot of manual layout, a program like kword is a
better choice. I have experience programming in C++ with QT from
various university projects. Apart from writing a small patch for
Canorus (www.canorus.org) I have never before programmed for an open
source project. But I am already reading koffice-devel for a year and
so I think I could find into the project relativ easily.

Greetings,
