GSoC2015

[Tilman Hausherr <TH...@t-online.de>]

Some ideas for GSoC2015:

- improved PDFDebugger (because of the difficulty to seeing the 
different sequence in PDFBOX-2401 and because the product shown at 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-QcU9B4qMc is better)
    - hex view
    - view of non printable characters
    - saving streams
    - color mark of PDF operators
    - show images that are streams
    - show PDIndexed gradient
    - show PDSeparation color
    - edit fields and streams
    - save altered PDF

- improved PDF Viewer (Zoom, drag and drop, resize view)

This could possibly be a candidate for Google Code-in 2014, although I'm 
not sure if Apache participates. I saw a msg from 2013 that looked like not.


- a working TIFF decoder
- a working JPX decoder
- the text extraction test suite for TIKA that Tim mentioned some time ago

PS: No I won't participate in the "Semester of Code" because I don't 
have a project idea, and I want to relax somewhat. The work on GSoC2014 
has been pretty intense, i.e. reviewing code and making tests.

I actually a from-scratch rewrite in a branch in my working copy, perhaps I should add a patch to JIRA?
