Hello! I have written a small package that allows for easy access and download for datasets from UCI ML repository from within Julia into a DataFrame.
Please have a look at it here: https://github.com/siddhantjain/UCIMLRepo and give your feedback. this is my first package so code can contain bad practice. I am looking at other packages to get a sense of coding guidelines. I am interested in working for Julia in GSOC on the project 'Standardised Dataset Packaging' and figured that writing a small package like this one will help me get a better feel for writing packages for Julia. As the deadline is just a couple of days away, I will start working on the application as soon as possible and give it to potential mentors for a review before the final submission. Could you someone please direct to me possible mentors? That way I can discuss my application with just them and not flood the mailing list with content that doesn't concern everyone. Thank you! Sincerely, Siddhant Jain Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani India P.S: If you are using a pre-release version (0.3 and above) of Julia, you might encounter a HUGE set of warnings. I am trying to figure out the reasons behind that. Will file a bug in due time if I am not able to solve the issue. However, these warning do not affect the working of the functions in package.
