Hi,
I'm a CS student and I'm very interested in working on the CUPS integration
of PAPI project.
I downloaded PAPI tarball and played a bit with the code. I'd like to ask a
few questions about the project itself.
There seems to be already some work done in the libpapi-cups folder. I'd
like to know how complete that work is and where does this Summer of Code
project stand with regard to the existing implementation.
Also in the TODO file, under the libpapi-cups entry it is said that "Once
libpapi-ipp is complete this can be dropped, because CUPS will accept jobs
from "any" IPP client and the PAPI IPP support is guaranteed to work." Does
that mean that any work done for this project would be practically useless?
It's probably not the case and I'm probably missing something. But I'd like
some clarification as to how the deliverables of this CUPS integration will
contribute to the PAPI effort.
Finally, is there any IRC channel where I can get to discuss with some
developers? Mailing lists are certainly great but it would definitely be
awesome if I could have a live discussion about the project.

Thanks
Cherif YAYA
