Thanks both for your kind words, but well done also for you both putting in strong proposals. Of course, the work for us all only really starts now :-)
*For those reading this wondering what we're on about... * Dimuthu and Bhargav are both participating in this year's Google Summer of Code [1] Dimuthu put in a proposal [2] to build a generic viewer for Isis running on Android (per [3]), while Bhargav put in a proposal [4] to build a generic viewer for Isis written in Javascript (per [5]). In both cases these viewers will be Restful clients, running against the Restful Objects viewer in Isis [6], implementing the Restful Objects spec [7]. Both have made a good start, and Dimuthu has got so far as starting a github project for his work [8]. (Bhargav, you might want to do likewise if you haven't already?) I'm sure that both Dimuthu and Bhargav would appreciate input and feedback on their projects as they continue. So do chip in any ideas you might have as to what you would like to see in such viewers. *Dimuthu, Bhargav:* Can I ask (and I'm think you know this) to keep all communication on [email protected]. Do also feel free to cc: [email protected] if you think it's relevant. We may also do some skype calls later on, though I don't think there's any immediate need for one just yet (at least, not from my point of view). Also, you are both in the same timezone, and - although the technologies you are using are different - there are similarities to the projects, not least in terms of getting to grips with the Restful Objects API. You might find it beneficial to email each other directly. I don't mind that at all, but if I you, do also cc: the mailing lists too.... the "Apache way" is that for project correspondence to be through the mailing lists. Bhargav... it's great to see you asking about how to verify the release for the vote [9] currently under way. Dimuthu... if you have time in the next day or so, you might also want to do this. It'd be useful for you to understand how releases are performed at Apache. Finally, one other thing you could both look at. You'll see that I'm releasing the v2.0.0 of the isis-viewer-restfulobjects. And, nominally, this supports v1.0.0 of the RO spec [7]. However, most of the tests still need to be written [10]; and I'm sure that missing test coverage means that there are some as-yet-unknown bugs/omissions in Isis' RO implementation. I'd really like it if we could close the gap on this over the summer. So, a task you could do is see if you could choose one or two of those tests and complete them, and then submit a patch. The process to do so is documented here [11]. You'll learn a little more about the RO spec, as well as about our contributor process.
