GNOME Bounty – Optimization
Monday, December 19th, 2005
GNOME has a number of open source bounties available for completion, ranging in difficulty and payout. The following Optimization project is worth $200:
Create a test suite for browsing in Nautilus
A test case is needed for Nautilus doing a long session of browsing. This test case can be used to detect leaks, using tools such as valgrind. The test case should use the LDTP project. It should do the following:
Put Nautilus in the root directory (/)
Spider around across different folders
Use various views (browser, spatial, as icons, as a list)
Be able to account for the fact that under valgrind, things will not happen fast (so it must wait)

GNOME Bounty – Optimization
Monday, December 19th, 2005
GNOME has a number of open source bounties available for completion, ranging in difficulty and payout. The following Optimization project is worth $100:
Add image data to the icon cache
For the GTK 2.6 release, a memory mappable icon cache was developed. This allows us to avoid scanning lots of directories on the startup of every application. However, one thing it does not do is to store the actual icon data in a shared file. This means that common images (consider the “x” on a close button) are duplicated many times.
