A new issue of #ThisWeekInGNOME is now online! "Decades Later" the @GTK file chooser has gained support for grid view with thumbnails! That and so many other great things happened this week 🥳

Hi Felix! Where should I start (as a coder) if I want to contribute? I worked on GNOME/GTK ~20 years ago, I remember there was a "GNOME Love" list of starter bugs/tasks. Is that still around?

@manu Ooooh! If you happen to feel like doing some pixel crunching / multicore optimization in Rust, I have just the thing!

@federicomena That sounds like something I know nothing about and would thus be delighted to try/learn! Can you send me some pointers?

@manu Two interesting puzzles:

1. gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg… - the feTurbulence filter in librsvg generates a texture that doesn't tile properly. It's also a bug in firefox/inkscape/resvg; it works fine in WebKit.

2. (No bug filed for this yet) the feGaussianBlur filter in librsvg has a horizontal and a vertical pass, and in each pass rows are blurred across multiple cores. However, for the vertical pass, *columns* are blurred in parallel, and I suspect this creates a lot of cache contention.


feTurbulence with stitchTiles="stitch" doesn't tile (#835) · Issues · GNOME / librsvg · GitLab

AFAICT only WebKit renders this correctly; librsvg, Firefox, and Inkscape don't. Note that...
