Hello Gentoo team, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I am interested in taking part in this year's Google Summer of Code and |
| 7 |
would like to discuss some general things. More specific, I am talking |
| 8 |
about Christopher Harvey's idea to design an application that raises |
| 9 |
statistics on the installed packages on a system (see [1]). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Let me explain my issue: |
| 12 |
In the first place, I am a Java developer and I consider my Java skills |
| 13 |
to be quite well. The point is that java is not part of a minimal gentoo |
| 14 |
system, whereas Python is. I would not have problems with Python, but I |
| 15 |
would have to learn the API of a GUI toolkit (preferably PyQt). |
| 16 |
What is your opinion: Would you be okay with a Java application or would |
| 17 |
you rather like to have a Python based one or even some other language? |
| 18 |
And finally, how much time do you think will it cost to work through the |
| 19 |
Qt API? |
