Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Google Summer of Code -- Ideas List!

[Martin Braun]

Thursday is the org application deadline, not the student application
deadline. So, plenty of time.

As for a project idea, I'd be careful about scope and relevance. You've
suggested a statistical toolbox, and the HTML GRC. I would pick one, and
then flesh out the project idea. Both projects you've proposed are
pretty high-level so far.

HTML5 GNU Radio apps get discussed a lot, and here's something that
needs limiting in scope before becoming a serious project idea. Of
course, such a project will need to be coordinated with core GR
development, which is a lot harder than, say, working on an OOT. Also,
for something like this we'd need proof of your capabilities. And a
non-realtime application doesn't sound interesting, and there's
frameworks like Bokeh that people have used for realtime radio stuff.
How do you want to run GR blocks in JavaScript? Are you thinking of some
kind of emscripten solution?
