The proposed work is to write the GTK GUI for Digital Gate Compiler (DGC) to use the latest GTK+ 2.0 API. This is Fedora Electronic Lab ticket #73:

Contacts: Shakthi Kannan
Mentor(s): Shakthi Kannan
Notes:
Digital Gate Compiler (DGC) was written by Oliver Kraus in 2003, who is not with Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg anymore.
http://dgc.sourceforge.net/
The current maintainer of the project is Tobias Dichtl. His line of scientific research is not the same as that of DGC, but, he said he will be adding "extended burst mode synthesis support" this year. Meanwhile, I had updated the sources with autotools build changes, and released 0.98 for Fedora. The updated changes are available at:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/dgc.git
The use cases are available at:

* Opening a file with a circuit description * Opening a gate (cell) library * Editing the encoding parameters * Editing the synthesis parameters * Editing the library parameters * Editing the log level * Performing the synthesis * Saving (exporting) the syhthesized circuit * The log and the error windows ** Saving the log window ** Clear the log window ** Clear the error window
