GSoC 2016
I don't have a good project idea for GSoC 2016, which is sad because I
like the concept.
Here some not-good project ideas:
- JPX converter - we really need that, but I don't have enough skills to
be able to mentor that. I had an idea who could mentor that and he would
be perfect, but he doesn't have the time :-(
- Transparency groups - several skilled people have tried and have not
fully succeeded in this, so it could well be that a student tries and
then fails and everybody is unhappy.
Thus this year, I'll just relax and maybe do some stuff on my own.

But not this year with me as main mentor, I'm not deep enough in text
extraction yet. Although I'm willing to support whatever somebody else
does with my opinion, suggestions, and tests.
The time investment in GSoC for me was about 1 hour per day, maybe more
at the beginning, and less later, and more at the very end.

We could do with a new text extractor, from the ground-up.

I don't have any. You should ask that question in the company you work
now, they likely have some of the best graphics developers in the world.

Hi Everyone,
Can you please point out any good documents on transparency groups apart from PDF spec 1.7.
Thanks
