Hello all,
I am been working on my proposal for the implementation on the
back-end. I have posted the link to my proposal on the other google thread
(I kindly request to refer to it for all the details). I am really looking
forward to discuss the ideas of how we can get the entire machinery
(back-end + front-end) to work. I hope we (It would be great if the
discussion can be done in the presence of our mentor) can discuss it here
or on irc chat about what we require in common and on how one could
facilitate as well compliment each other's work keeping it as independent
as possible. Thanks.
