Hi,

I feel this can be a good warm-up project, but doesn't seem to fit the length of gsoc.

In addition, can we add basic piping to LibreCAD:

librecad <<EOF
line 0,0 10,10
circle 5,5 5
papersize letters
export output.svg
export output.pdf
EOF

Here we can have flexibility of what commands to support, to get a good project.

What do you think?

Hi there!
Is the project list for GSoC 2016 updated?

Can we consider this as a standalone project to be in GSoC?
