OLP SOC Ideas Page
From wiki.openlighting.org
This page lists some ideas for Google Summer of Code 2012. You can use these ideas as a basis for your application, or come up with something different.
Port to Windows Platforms
This is the most requested feature and would significantly expand the reach of the project. Work on a Windows port commenced in mid 2011, but was halted due to lack of resources.
This project would include:
- Refactoring the base classes under common/network to use the Windows network & event management APIs and ensuring that all unittests pass.
- Cleaning up various parts of the code which use POSIX APIs (see http://code.google.com/p/linux-lighting/issues/detail?id=139 for an example)
A Windows port would enable lighting controller applications like QLC to move to OLA entirely, and not have to maintain their own plugins.
