Hi all, there is contest declared by qt centre for qt app based on qt4 to be submitted before May 31. http://contest.qtcentre.org/ I think qucs can particpate in this . Well I am not sure. Anyway my exams are getting over on 31 Jan. And after that I'll be having lots of time for hacking. To increase chances of winning I'll be in need of your cooperation :) P.S: I havent yet registered for contest and will do so after discussing in list (after 31 Jan). -- Cheers, Gopala Krishna A |

The various aspects it is judged against are pretty tough. first of all: your port as to be complete by may 31st. it must compile and work. since you are probably the only one contributing work, this might be a tough call. It's you choice, I guess. qucs can definitly score in the "idea", "completeness", (partly "documentation" - no generated API docs) and "team size" categories. I'm not so sure about "code quality" (no offense). "tests" is a no-go. so, I say: register it of you feel you can finish the port. even if qucs has no chance to win (for some of the aspects) it's definitly good publicity. but still Michael (and Stefan) should give the "thumbs up" since it's their baby. my .02 euro, Raimund -- ___ ___ _____________ / /| / /_ / ____/ ___/\ Nothing useful for / / / / _ / / __/ / __\/ more than a decade / /_/_/ \/ /_/_/ /_/ {www.|raimi@} /______/__/\._\.____/\.____/\ .org \._____\._\/\._\.___\/\.___\/ |

Thanks Raimi for your respone :) As Raimi said I guess qucs can give a try. Who knows it might emerge winner since it is the only light weight yet very functional schematic editor, simulator . It has cool features like equations, graphs and diagrams and of late digital simulation and many more. And if qucs does win then qucs will become lot more famous. That will be a major achievement. I will try to do my best to win. I am really waiting hard for my exams to get over!!! ;) To be frank enough, my work is made simple since qt3 version of qucs serves as complete practical guide to me. The difficult part till now had been my understanding of qt4.2's graphicsview framework , undo framework which now I am pretty adept. Once I get go the basic movement code flawless coupled with robust undo-redo code all other stuff can pretty much be done by script since all other code are similar. ( I will be glad if someone helps me in this) Qucs is already of good quality in terms of bug free and concept. By code quality they also mean a bit more organised classes and good hierarchy and uniform naming convention. This is very little extra work which can easily be adopted in qt4 version of qucs. Actually I have been working on this and looks like I can come out with improvements. There's isn't much change to fundamentals though. The only big change is drawing the schematic which is now lot more easier and has support for anti-aliasing (the curves look good). API docs will be good idea and can attract more developers. The contest will actually benifit qucs a lot ! > but still Michael (and Stefan) should give the "thumbs up" > since it's their baby. Waiting for you folks! :) -- Cheers, Gopala Krishna A |

You have my permission ;-) But, unfortunately, I will not be able to help you :-( Furthermore, I think that Qucs will not have a good chance, because the contest is, of course, initiated by Trolltech to promote Qt4. So they want to see programs that show the great abilities of Qt4. But Qucs is a program that stresses scientific computation and the main part consists of simulators like Qucsator, FreeHDL, ... Anyway, good luck to you :-) Regards, Michael |

If you like to participate, then try. :-) In which category? Desktop Application? I think there is little chance to win, but it's worth the effort anyyway because it probably increases speed ( your motivation :-) ) of the Qt4 port of Qucs. Please focus on Qucs Qt4 port, not at the contest only. Though little time I will give advice, help with things out, test of functionality. Unfortunately I can't promise anything. I'll give my best to support you. Cheers, Stefan. |
