Very good to hear. Have you submitted yet? I haven't spotted anything.
It should be under the "Apache Software Foundation" organisation and it
is helpful to mention Bloodhound in the title to make it a little easier
for us to find.
Cheers,
Gary

Okay sure, thanks for the feedback!
Of course my engagement won’t stop after the submission.

Hi Jennifer,
OK, I'll have a look as soon as I can then. Though it is on the late side, it
would be good to see more discussion from you here. I am not yet sure of how
long there will be between the submission deadline and the deadline for
evaluation of the projects but continued discussion may well have a positive
influence on decisions.
Cheers,
Gary

I’m about to submit my proposal. I’m sorry it’s very short notice, I’ve had a
lot of other commitments.
Just wanted to let you know that I don’t expect you to give me feedback before
the deadline.
Hope you like what I’ve worked on though!
Cheers,
Jennifer

Thanks a lot for your reply! I've just looking into the Live syntax high
lightening issue and it looks really exciting.
Is it possible for me to work on it? How much has been done? Or would you
want me to start from the scratch?
Please let me know so I can look into it and work on my proposal.
Cheers,

Not a lot of code has been committed by the last student that attempted
this, you can get an overview of the branch here:
https://github.com/apache/bloodhound/commits/livesyntaxhighlighting
Only the changes on Sep 18, 2013 and Oct 04, 2013 are relevant, with most
changes happening in this one commit:
https://github.com/apache/bloodhound/commit/fbbff24ecebfb206e7d31f82c9acc21efee98fae
It's up to you if you want to base your work on this or start from scratch,
either way a lot of work is probably left to be done :-)

Hey Everyone!
My name is Jennifer Parak (please feel free to call me Jen), I'm a 3rd
Year Student at University of Sheffield studying Information Management
&
Technology.
Thanks a lot for organising the Meetup today! It was really good seeing
the Mentors and getting an overview of the project.
I'm new to GSOC, so excuse me if I'm a bit slow and hesitant at the
start,
but I'm really excited to get started with the projects.
I'm very interested in front-end projects such as COMDEV-111 and
especially COMDEV-112, because it leaves room for creativity and I would
love building something that I contribute by exchanging ideas.
I also want to learn a lot during my internship, which is why I would
like
to choose a project that requires several different skills. I'm
confident
with Python, HTML, CSS and Javascript, so I should be well prepared and
set
up for the projects. Is it a problem if I've never worked with
Bootstrap or
jQuery? I'm happy to look into new frameworks and I'm sure I can pick
them
up really quickly.
Any comments that might help me decide one of those projects?
I missed the first question in my earlier reply. There are two
individuals
that have started on proposals for COMDEV-111 and COMDEV-112, which is
not
to say that you can't also work the projects.
When considering the projects, you can ask yourself whether you want to
work on something strongly focused on the server-side, client-side or a
nice balance of each. It shouldn't be a problem that you haven't worked
with Bootstrap or jQuery. If your project will utilize a lot of
JavaScript
though, you'll want to do some reading / tutorials to get familiar with
jQuery. It is an amazing and powerful library!
We also have some projects from last summer that weren't completed. The
"Live Syntax Highlighting" project always looked interesting to me:
https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/query?status=!closed&keywords=~gsoc
"Live Syntax Highlighting" would be weighted to the client-side I think.
If you wanted to work on one of those, we (the mentors) might have to put
an issue in COMDEV, but I think there is still time to do that.
