The main page for this Summer Coding 2010 ideas is Summer Coding 2010 ideas - DGC GTK GUI.
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: 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: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-electronic-lab/ticket/73

Notes:
Introduction
Digital Gate Compiler (DGC, http://dgc.sourceforge.net/) was written by Oliver Kraus in 2003, who is not with Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg anymore. 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 GUI still uses old GTK+ API, and needs to be changed.
Use cases
The GTK+ GUI use cases to be implemented are available at:
