GSoC - Project Idea

[Salomon Sickert <sickert in tum de>]

Hi,

I'm a student aiming to get place in the GSoC program. While browsing
http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2009/Ideas and
http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2010/Ideas, I've got following idea:

Nautilus, Epiphany, Empathy and other programs, which have the ability 
to transfer files, could expose the progress of the transfer. This 
enables other applications to react accordingly and allows to create 
an unified overview on the progress of file transfers.

I've created a first more detailed draft, which can be viewed on
http://home.in.tum.de/~sickert/file_transfer_progress

Comments and discussion are appreciated.

Greetings

Salomon Sickert
