Re: [Sugar-devel] Google Season of Docs

[Favour Kelvin]

It is being organised differently this year, we have to apply for a grant
and then we find the writer we reach out directly to the writer we want to
work with, at least that is how I understood it.

 Hello,

 Coming to the end of the Community Bonding period, I want to sum up my
 initial progress on my project during the period, and my plans ahead as the
 official Coding Period begins.

 I had several meetings with my mentor, Walter, and other members of the
 Music Blocks group for this year's GSoC. Walter walked me through some of
 the complex functions, and we discussed on how to proceed.

 During the period, I've worked on the ES6 port, to clean up the code
 and make it ready for further work. Specifically, I've completely 
 refactored
 logo.js and turtle.js, which are most important to my project. In
 addition, I've done a lot of cleanup w.r.t whitespaces, comments, short
 statements, etc. And, I'm satisfied that the files are in a good condition
 for me to start with. In addition, I've separated out note execution
 related behaviour to an external class named NoteController.

 In the upcoming weeks, I'll primarily be focused on separation of Model
 , View, and Controller from logo.js and turtle.js. For better modular
 behaviour, I've conceptualised 5 models and 4 controllers. The
 NoteController, mentioned above, is an experimental feature which
 needs further discussion; I intend to carry it out in parallel in the
 coming week.

 I'm keeping a log, and all my progress is maintained in a GitHub
 project  created
 in my fork of Music Blocks. It has 5 columns: Milestones, To do, In
 progress, Done, and Plans. Milestones keeps track of my overall
 progress and upcoming goals, Plans keeps note of my conceptualised
 ideas, while the rest keep track (archived after milestone achieved) of
 intermediate progress.

 Thank You.

Thanks for sending in your proposal for review,

The project details and plan with intending solutions are well explained.
It's good you also good you made a list of the possible issues that would
be worked on because it's difficult knowing beforehand which issues would
be certainly resolved due to the nature of the project.

 Given the new circumstances, please confirm you are still able to
 commit to GSoC for 2020?

 Can you dedicate six hours a week?

 Please keep Walter and myself informed.

 Also, please do your mentoring in public as much as possible, so we
 can cover for you and watch out for missing mentors.

 Welcome to Rahul.  We have 15 mentors listed on the dashboard, and
 we're waiting for Devin and Sumit to respond to the Google invitation
 message.

Welcome.

 Most source code, but not all, is on
https://github.com/sugarlabs in various repositories.

If you are focusing on web development, you can look first at
Sugarizer at https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer and also Music Blocks
at https://github.com/sugarlabs/musicblocks ... the other web apps are
either inside Sugarizer or maintained in separate repositories and ZIP
files.

 There are also other type of tasks, so it's not just limited to coding. So,
 yes, you can.

 I don't think should be anything in Google Code In terms that says that
 only people with laptops are allowed.

 You can also use someone else's laptop or computer meanwhile if you
 want.

 All you need to participate is the wish to participate.
