From the mysterious future : Google Summer of Code

Category: Summer of Code, debian — Obey Arthur Liu @ 12:21 am

Hi everybody,

I’m starting to work on my Google Summer of Code 2008 project for Debian.

My project is basically to make a graphical interface for Aptitude. The official title is “Usability improvements and GTK+ GUI for Aptitude” and here is the official abstract :

I will create a GTK+ GUI for Aptitude that will work alongside improved current ncurses and command-line interfaces. This will offer an alternative to Synaptic with an interface design geared toward usability and advanced functionality.

You may find some info about me, Obey Arthur Liu, here. I will be working with Daniel Burrows, the creator of Aptitude.

I’ll try to keep this blog updated about what I’ll be doing.
