gEDA-dev: GSoC 2008

[Bartlomiej Wolowiec]

I've sent an e-mail, but it probably hasn't reached the list (I cannot see it 
in web-archive). So, I send it once again:

Hello, 
  I would like to participate in GSOC 2008. On 
http://geda.seul.org/wiki/gsoc2008_projects I saw "Recently loaded file 
list". I think that's very easy, so I am keen to do it right now :)
I've got few questions,to  be sure what kind of implementation do  you mean:
- I think ActionLoadFrom(..) in action.c file is a good place to detect which 
files were open, to write them into the history
- file lists should be written in PCB_CONFIG_FILE or maybe creating a separate 
file with information about recently opened files is a better solution?
- add "Recently loaded" and @recentlyloaded to pcb-menu.res.
- add displaying  file list in gui-top-window.c.

  In GSOC 2008 I'm interested in creating topological autorouter. I know 
that's a hard task to do, but I have some experience in inventing algorithms 
(including geometrical). What publications relevant to this topic would you 
recommend? Is there anybody who is well informed about this topic (and may be 
a mentor of this project)?
