Hi Vatsal, Nice to meet you!
I don't think implementing *both* projects in 3 months is a good idea. It is better to have a solid proposal for one of these projects. Making a prior contribution is a good idea - in fact, we were told it is a requirement (see https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/ApplicationTemplate2014). So you're in a right direction. As a mentor of "Scrapy IDE" project I'll comment on it. To complete this project you will need to develop an understanding of Scrapy internals, IPython internals, JS/CSS/HTML, browser security and UI design. You said you've used Scrapy for personal projects (that's great!); are you familiar with IPython and its "notebook" feature? Try to come up with ideas about how to use them together. Think about how did you debug and develop your spiders, and what visual tools may have helped you. Maybe ipython-scrapy demo (linked in wiki - http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/kmike/9001574) would be helpful - note that it is just a quick hack, and the implementation should be changed. There are many possible options and ideas to implement; proposal should include a plan - what exactly do you want to implement? Architecture overview and maybe some UI mockups would be nice. среда, 12 марта 2014 г., 9:25:48 UTC+6 пользователь Vatsal Juneja написал: > > Hi, > > Looks like there is a pull request already pending for the web UI project. > I'd be glad if anyone can tell me if it's still open to work on.
