Hello Django Developers, Just checked my mail and saw that I have been selected for Google Summer of Code, 2008. This is the second time I am participating in the contest and for the second time I have got a chance to contribute to the Djangoproject :) My mentor for this project is Jannis Leidel.
Here is a little bit more about my project: Purpose of the project ----------------------- Django comes with a comments framework that makes embedding comments in apps very easy. Jacob Kaplan Moss is writing a replacement for the comments framework that is intended to replace the current comments framework. The newcomments framework offers more features and will also integrate the best features from third-party projects like James Bennett's comment-utils and django-openidconsumer. My Project ----------- I plan to assist Jacob complete a major portion of the ToDo [1] list that he has at the current moment. Hopefully by the end of this summer, the django-newcomments framework will be able to make quite a lot of progress and will be closer to finding itself in the trunk. How do I plan to go about the project? ---------------------------------------- The project is divided into four parts: * Decide with the mentor what are the things in the ToDo that I plan to complete by the end of the summer. * Coding the stuff decided in the previous step. * Migration script for old comments. * Writing docs and tests. Documentation is quite important because the comments framework is one of the least documented features of the framework. Since this project's goal is to be integrated into the trunk, work will continue beyond summer till the integration is complete.

Also wishing luck to all my fellow SoCers. Have a great summer!!! -- Cheers Thejaswi Puthraya http://thejaswi.info/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
