HI Nithish, That sounds like a realistic timeframe - although I'm not familiar with your experience levels or the amount of time you have available each week. Please "release early, release often" as you work. Don't wait to complete a specific task before letting us see code. Submit your patches as you are working on them.
This allows us to suggest alternative implementations that might be easier to implement. Or it might allow us to catch an error early. This is one of the most powerful things about open source coding, the chance to get early review on your work. Often we won't have anything to add to what you have already done but sometimes we will spot something that slipped by your own review. When this happens it can save significant time. Your first patch might therefore be the addition of a single REST call to the nearby people app with instructions on how to retrieve the data using wget (or similar). Your second patch might then be a simple widget that calls that interface and displays the data in textual form. As you can see these are small incremental steps, each being significantly less work than the whole project. I'm looking forward to seeing your first patch.
