Hi Aamir,
The error message came probably from google closing the applications.

I now have access again to your application an have request mentorship.
Good luck :)

Maybe you can comment it over here.

Hi Aamir,
That's good.
Once I will get access to your application on google melange, I will ask
for mentorship.

Revised Proposal :
Proposal Title:
Design and Implement Mailbox with CouchDB mail storage.
Student Name:
Aamir Khan
Student E-mail:
ak4u2...@gmail.com
Organization/Project:
James Mailbox Apache Software Foundation
Assigned Mentor:
Robert Burrell Donkin (rdon...@apache.org )
Proposal Abstract:
Since most of the mail contents are semi-structured in nature.CouchDB is
non-relational, semi-structured database having great potential for mail
storage. My project is to design and implement mail storage in James
Mailbox
using CouchDB. RESTful integration API for Retrieving,Sending and Deleting
mails will also be done.
Detailed Description:
Why?
lets consider a example Mail:
“From” : “ak4u2...@gmail.com”
“To” : “server-dev@james.apache.org”
“Subject” : “Implementation of CoucheDB”
“Body” : “Implementation Proposal”
All the messages like the one stated above will be stored as a flat
collection in CouchDB. Since the mail contents are generally semi
structured
thats why CouchDB is most preferable database for the same.
Distributivity:
Since CouchDB is a distributed system. We can have multiple independent
copies of mails to different servers (faster performance) and whenever we
want we can redistribute changes bidirectionally.It is also helpful if one
of the mail server fails then other backup servers can fulfill the
requests.
How?
Road Map
0) Code Familiarity : Already started and going.
1) Design : 1 week
2) Programming : 7 Weeks
3) Review and Testing : 1 week
4) Bug Fixing Time : 1 week
5) Documentation : 1 week
6) Buffer Time for any unpredicted delay and Second phase of testing : 1
week
Deliverable& Project Schedule
April 25-May 23(Community Bonding Period) :
I would be in constant touch with my mentor and james
mailbox
community as a whole. I would discuss further about the project with my
mentor and keep posting about implementation plans over the main
server-dev@james.apache.org mailing list. Discuss the design for
implementation of CouchDB after discussion with whole community.
May 24 - May 31 : Finalise the design for implementation of CouchDB after
discussion with whole community.
June 1 - 20 June :
Implement the finalised plan for Couch DB.
June 21 - June 28 :
Test and debug implementation of CouchDB with regressive test.
July 1 - July 10 :
-Implement RESTful integration API for Retrieving mail. This should be
performed using GET operation at the document’s URL.
-This will implement : GET /database_name/mail_id HTTP/1.0 . Here mail_id
will be used to identify a particular unique Email Content.
-Test and debug implementation of Retrieving mail API.
July 11 - July 20 :
-Implement RESTful integration API for Sending mail. This should be done
using POST operation of HTTP_Document_API.
-This will implement : POST /database_name/ HTTP/1.0 .
-Test and debug implementation of Sending mail API.
July 21 - July 30 :
-Implement RESTful integration API for Deleting mail. This should be done
using DELETE operation of HTTP_Document_API.
-This will implement : DELETE /database_name/mail_id?revid=current_version
HTTP/1.0 . Here mail_id will be used to identify a particular unique
Email
Content.
-Test and debug implementation of Deleting mail API.
The time line specified above is somewhat adjustable. If i can comeplete
the
above mentioned integrations before time, I would proceed with the
following
API’s integration in order:
-Inline Attachments
-Multiple Attachments
-Stand Alone Attachments
-ETags/Caching
August 1-August 15 (Buffer Time):
Second phase of testing: Testing of debugged code.
August 15-August 22:
-Work on Documentation.
-Finally discuss the project with mentors.
-Debugging the bugs (if any reported by Mentor)
-Improve the Documentation, Release.
August 22 - August 26 :
-Final Evaluation Submission
Available Time
I am committed to giving at least 40-50 hours per week to GSOC. Since I am
not doing anything this summer, I believe that the time devoted to GSOC
will
be much more than that, for sure. I have excellent work ethics, and a goal
oriented guy.

Hi,
The idea of RESTful is to let communicate a client system with a server
system via HTTP, transfering request parameters as http_request_params,
getting response ax structured document (xml or json) in the
http_response_body.
You can read more on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer
Couchdb has such an API (
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Document_API)
It seems you are good at sprint :) (you are just in time for the
deadline).
You could outline in your application that event if the first
implementation will be for couchdb, the RESTful "framework" will be
designed to support other datastores. Therefor, 1 week design before
the
8 weeks (becoming 7 weeks) would be good.
Hopes this help.
(Don't wait to register and inject this on google melange, you can
always update it after).
