Hi everyone,
We may be starting to look at this a little on the late side now but I
would very much like to see Bloodhound being a part of GSoC again this
year. We now have three committers with some level of experience with
mentoring projects and so I expect we will all want to give what help we
can to any other Bloodhound committers who are also interested in mentoring.
Once again we need to generate ideas that are appropriate for students
without a deep knowledge of the internals of Bloodhound/Trac that should
fit into a 6-8 week project.
Projects from last year are listed here (tagged with 'gsoc'): <
https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/query?status=!closed&keywords=~gsoc>
We may be able to make use of some of the ideas on this list but I would
like to see more ideas generated that might catch the attention of
students. Also, obviously, the earlier potential mentors become involved
the better.
Cheers,
Gary
It sounds like we may need to have our projects listed in the JIRA issue
tracker by 24-Feb. Does that sounds right to you?
If that's the case, we should discuss potential projects over the next 3
days. I'll start giving it some thought.
Yeah, we need to get on with this!
From the list at
<https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/query?status=!closed&keywords=~gsoc>
I think we should forward:
* SVN pubsub integration:
o https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ticket/478
* Patch workflows tightly coupled to version control:
o https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ticket/484
* Add Solr support to Bloodhound Search plugin:
o https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ticket/488
* Abstract filesystem APIs:
o https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ticket/486
Possibly also:
* Batch create tickets from wiki lists:
o https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ticket/231
That ignores a few that have been touched on by previous mentoring projects.
I was wondering if we can also put together a suggestion based on
watching objects (<https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ticket/151>).
This was rejected last time as being too small an issue but it might be
worth re-evaluating that as it could prompt a student to build their own
bigger idea around it.
Of the other recent discussions we also have:
* A suggestion from Olemis for an in-browser PDF view for previews
based on http://mozillalabs.com/pdfjs
* A suggestion from Saint Germain for some kind of Django integration
Views on all these and more suggestions would be fantastic.
Cheers,
Gary
