[Bf-committers] Project openings

[Ivan Sedo]

hi,
as I communicated to people at #blendercoders, I'd like to implement
curve stuff in blender wannabe as my diploma thesis, but this is still
in the form of discussion at our faculty, because most of our teachers
are not aware of blender's existence, because most of them are involved
in developing Truspace ...

Because I am not sure if implementation of nurbana code into blender
will suffice (maybe some further additional development will help) I
can't promise anything at this time, but still I would like to
participate on that project ...

Or at least I will try to suggest them to let me work on some different
project like fluid dynamics, or fur or whatever theme worth a diploma
