I didn't notice this while I was implementing arc. Good eye.

Ah yes. This was the bug that I was looking to solve in GSoC period

Yeah that is on my todo list as well. But feel free to work on any.
I have many other things in my mind.

@Gagan, is there a place where I can make a todo list to share my ideas?

Yeah just like Gagan said, start working and I'll help as well if you
get stuck on any piece of code that I wrote.
You can also contact us on IRC channel #drgeo.
