[flashrom] Re: Questions regarding Easy project and GSoC

[Aarya Chaumal]

Hi Anastasia,

Thanks for the merge (Feel great contributing to flashrom). Thanks for
helping me better understand flashrom and the projects for GSoC. As I said
before I am interested in "Optimize Erase-Function Selection" and "Fix
Endianness Issues" (I still cant decide which one to choose, kinda wanna do
both if possible). I have understood what is the aim of the projects and
also have some idea as to how to go about it.

I have read the proposal template and have some questions:
In the project info section, do I have to write the same as given in the
projects idea list, or do I write what I have understood (in the short and
long descriptions)? Also, what is expected in the project breakdown?
Will I be doing the project alone or the mentor(s) will be guiding me?
I have completed a rough draft for my proposal, can someone review it?

Aarya.

Hi, apologies for a long delay in reply!

"in the tree" means in the git tree. Which means, you create a git repository 
locally (flashrom repository) and then run scan-build inside it.

In the description of this task, it said, “Run scan-build in the tree.” I am a 
little confused about the words “in the tree.” How can I find it?

[flashrom] Inquiry about a required task for GSOC.

[Israa Odeh]

Dear Flashrom Org,

While I was looking for a GSOC contribution that appeals to my interests and 
attracts my attention. I noticed your GSOC project ideas for Flashrom, and 
specifically, the task labeled as "Modernize the flashrom website", which I 
found quite interesting. Generally, I enjoy web development using CSS, HTML, 
JavaScript, and PHP, and I'm willing to learn new skills, work with various 
frameworks, and learn about other helping platforms to enhance my abilities.

However, I would like to gain more details about what this project idea 
requires in minute details so that I could prepare an appropriate proposal and 
a good plan if it is suitable to me.

Please Kindly, provide me with additional information about the requirements.

Examples of a bunch of details that I need to know:
- Who will be the mentors? (This isn't clarified for each task separately).

- What are the expected outcomes you hope to accomplish with this task?

- Do you mean specifically that you need to improve the front-end? (Is it 
specifically a front-end improvement?)

- Must the design be responsive?

- Are there any predetermined languages or frameworks to use?

- Could you clarify what do you mean by saying "However, we have to find out 
what we need and which framework supports what. Then, various frameworks need 
to be evaluated and we need a plan on how to migrate to the new site."

I'd appreciate hearing the required details from you.
Kind Regards
Israa Odeh.
