Hi Hasitha, Again, congratulations on getting selected on GSoC. I'm sure your work is going to be a significant contribution to the Airavata project. Welcome aboard.
See my comments inline.

I'd personally like an IDE which would popup a comic strip from time to time, but unfortunately IDE devs are more sane than I'm. > > Is there any facility available to manage our code (personal SVN location) > allocated for students?

So when you go through the documentation if you see places which can be improved don't hesitate to raise questions on that or better yet create a jira ticket for suggestions on improvements (you can submit patches also). > > What is your suggestion on selecting initial development source?

However we have some considerable changes in the API in the trunk. If you remember in our previous discussions the AiravataClient API is still at a development stage and right now the major portion of it still resides only on trunk (the upcoming 0.3 release should include it though). Lets discuss this on a separate thread since its going to be useful discussion in general for other Airavata gsocers as well. > > > I am having my end semester examinations during next few week and I will > start code digging and studying about necessary tools during my free times. > Any guideline, suggestions are very much appreciated. > Sure Hasitha. Since you've already ahead with many of the basic stuff on Airavata I would suggest giving more priority on your university exams. For now try to establish the baseline for your work (the big picture, components you'll be working on, parts in Airavata you need to be familiar with, what additional technologies you'll have to learn/use etc.) Regards, Saminda > > Thank you. > Hasitha Aravinda > > [1] http://incubator.apache.org/airavata/development/source.html > [2] http://incubator.apache.org/airavata/development/build.html > [3] http://incubator.apache.org/airavata/tools/devtools.html > > >
