Hi Tor Community,
Hi!
Also I want to know if the project on "Tor Controller Status Event Interface for Vidalia" is still available to work on. I particularly program in Java and have done some work on UI developements. Also I am quite proficient in the english language and can play around with photoshop as well. But I don’t really program in c++ though I have learnt the basics in skul, so does that disqualify me from working on the project. If not, what else must I know prior to the application in order to get acquainted with your practices and better understand your organizational set up. I will be very glad if help is given me in this regard. Thanks a lot.
To be able to work in Vidalia you will mainly need to understand how Qt works. Vidalia is built upon that framework and its core idioms. Qt is C++, but you can "avoid" C++ if you work on a plugin which would be in javascript (but you'll need to understand core Qt concepts). That being said, both proposed projects need C++.
Regarding the Tor Controller Status Events project, it is still available in the sense that you can submit a proposal, which doesn't mean that there aren't more people wanting to work on it.
You should join us on IRC #vidalia (or #tor-dev for general tor development discussions) at OFTC if you want to get involved with us regardless of GSoC.
