[Arches] Creating Installation Wizard [GSoC '14 Project] Idea Discussion Thread!!

2015-02-03 Thread Chaitanya Gupta

 I saw this idea mentioned in the previous year's idea list, but no one 
picked it up. So I was wondering if people still want to get this done.

I am interested in the project as I have used a setup scripting language 
called NSIS to create an installation wizard for a school project once, so 
I know how installation wizards work. 

For Windows, NSIS provides a pretty decent interface and being opensource I 
don't think we should look for anything else but for linux I think people 
would much rather prefer their own package manager rather than a custom 
setup wizard.

So would a wizard make sense for Linux users? A better option might be just 
a straightforward installation script.

[Arches] GSoC 2015

2015-01-31 Thread Chaitanya Gupta
Hi,

Although probably It's very early to ask about GSOC 2015  but I would like 
to start analyzing to prepare myself for choosing a correct project and 
submitting a good proposal for that to get selected.It would be great if 
someone could throw some light on GSoC 2015 as far as arches is concerned, 
also some useful tips could come in handy.

I haven't found any GSOC 2015 project ideas pages yet,but got the older 
idea page of year 2014 but it didn't mention which ideas have been already 
implemented and which ones are still unimplemented, so can anyone help me 
out with that..??

Thanks

Chaitanya

I really liked Konark Sun Temple located in Odisha,India when i first saw 
it, and also enjoyed my visits to Ajanta  Ellora Caves in 
Maharashtra,India.
However i have not been to many archaeological sites in person though i 
have read a lot about them,as they were an integral part of the indian 
textbooks during school days.
