[Tux4kids-discuss] Tool for Google Summer of Code: Flower Dev Center

[Flower Platform Team]

Hello GSoC Mentors,

As you are participating to Google Summer of Code, I'm wondering if you 
could consider using Flower Dev Center [1] while working with students.

Flower Dev Center is an online platform for UML modeling diagramming, 
with a strong focus on code synchronization, integration with dev tools 
(Git, SVN, etc) and real time collaboration on diagrams (and a little 
bit on code as well).

We think Flower Dev Center can be helpful for both: mentors and students 
during Google Summer of Code. We have created an article on this topic 
(i.e. Flower Dev Center + GSoC): [2], [3].

If you have a couple of spare minutes, could you tell us if you would 
like to use Flower Dev Center? And/or raise topics that you think are 
important (based on previous GSoC participations) to be supported by 
Flower Dev Center?

REMARK1: Right now, Flower Dev Center is closed source and offered for 
free to open-source projects. Starting with next version we'll begin to 
open its API and source code, so that anyone could write extension 
plugins, etc.

REMARK2: The next version of Flower Dev Center, the 2.0.0 planned for 
June/July 2013, has major new features, that we did not demonstrate yet 
and that will improve even more the collaboration between developers.

REMARK3: Flower Dev Center doesn't currently support C programming 
language. But if you are interested in using Flower Dev Center, we'll 
prioritize it's implementation and we'll work hard to do it ASAP, with 
Flower Dev Center 2.0.0.

REMARK4: Flower Dev Center will support programming languages that are 
not object oriented, starting with 2.0.0

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Mircea @ The Flower Platform Team.
