Greetings all,

I assume the new Project "Full Text Indexes for Gallery2 Search" is directly related to Feature Request...

[ 1221234 ] [G2] Boolean Search Please

If so... this is great. Thank you in advance!

I also am looking forward to the index/boolean search. It will make a great addition even if it gives a small performance hit.

Hi to all,
looks like there are some cool features comin up soon :-)
SQlite is a very lean and fast DB which will make parallel access from different applications much faster....hmmm but unfortunately SQlite is not portable to other SQL databases.
I'm quite curious about the final usage in the project...
Cheers
and good luck!

Hi all,

I´d like to know the details of the "WebBased Image Manipulation" project, if you have a roadmap already.

Too bad I heard about this too late, would have sent my application :( .

A big thanks to the students who will work hard to give us more and more functionalities.

Cheers,
Martin

The time is now, to show you how...

I agree, Nosaj. The boolean search would be very cool, even if there's a performace hit. Well, anyway, it could be optional.

Hi Martin ,
This is Uday and im workin on "Web Based Image Manipulation" and ThanQ :) for ur wishes . so coming to Details of Project the idea of this project is to make gallery to support bigger set of image operations like rotate, scale, crop, brightness / contrast, hue / saturation, sharpen and blur etc, so that even users without any image editing software on their computers can manipulate their images before they take prints . In addition to this i am thinking to provide more effects like Rico effect and ThickBox effects in the gallery which makes gallery look rich :) ,so thats the overview of my idea ...
Regards,
-Uday

How do payments work?

Quote:
Google will provide a stipend of 5000 USD per accepted student developer, of which 4500 USD goes to the student and 500 USD goes to the mentoring organization.

Besides the great experience you'll also earn some money
So good luck to the mentors and students!
