First of all, I apologize for creating a new thread. I had discovered
that I enabled digest mode, so I disabled it; which resulted in me not
receiving your replies. I actually had to read it through the archive.
I tried to restructure the email so that it would go through as a
reply; but since I don't know the In-Reply-To field, I'm not sure how
it will appear.
Probably not the complete thing, but maybe some parts of the work could
be doable? The tun and tap interface support for example
Yeah, I think this is doable and a good start. And as you remarked, it
would also be a good start for better networking support in QEMU.
Looks interesting to me. I will start working on a proposal.
And if it goes well, it may be possible to follow up with a paid contract
funded by Haiku inc
outside of GSoC (we can't make guarantees about it at this point, but we
have the funding and it
would not be the first time we hire a former GSoC student to allow them to
continue their work).
If I may inquire; are you talking about the WireGuard implementation
or QEMU networking?
Complex text rendering would be useful (but maybe not sufficient?)
to render arabic text and various other scripts, which would probably
allow more people to use Haiku as their main system. I think it has
potential to increase our reach to new markets (even if I'm not much
into marketing things) and allow more people to use and contribute to
Haiku.
From your remarks, it appears this has the priority. I think it's
sufficient, so long as you don't mix left-to-right and right-to-left
scripts. For this, maybe we can port and use Gnu's fribidi?
