Summer of Code 2012 is on!

The MoinMoin project is mentoring the following moin2-based student projects:

Mentors / Helpers: see MentorGroup (if you want to help, talk to us)

Common TODO

• http://etherpad.osuosl.org/moin-flatland-metadata-editor (if you need UI widgets for editing some metadata value, link to this from your project page and contribute there)

• http://etherpad.osuosl.org/moin-render-method (how to influence rendering apart from contenttype)

Next steps

Final and firm "pencil down" at 20. august 2012, 1900 UTC - all stuff done afterwards is welcome, but can not get considered as work done within Google SOC.

What you can do in the last hours:

• do NOT begin any new code
• review all your changes
• clean up (carefully)
• write documentation about the stuff that is working
• write a TODO list with known issues, todos, not working stuff
• improve docstrings
• look at your etherpad and see what needs to be conserved from there (put it into docs)
• look at your issue tracker and clean up (make sure all issues are in the correct state)
• check if your diary on your wiki page is up-to-date and reflects reality
• if possible without causing big issues: merge main repo into your repo
• do practical tests
• run ALL the unit tests
• make sure that at the end, everything that is in sane state is also committed and pushed to your public repo

What you need to do after GSoC has ended

• Fill out and submit all forms Google requires
• Send your code to Google. You can use the following command to extract all of your changesets into a file

  • Linux/Mac OS X: hg export `hg log -M --template '{rev} ' -k 'Joe Doe' -r 359d51f0fa90:` > my_changesets

  • Windows:

    hg log -M --template "{rev} " -k "Joe Doe" -r 359d51f0fa90: > exportchanges.cmd
    # now edit that file:
    # add hg export at the beginning of the line
    # add > my_changesets.txt at the end of the line
    # run that file:
    exportchanges

  • in case you committed stuff to your repo after August 20th, 19:00 UTC, remove it manually, it is not part of GSOC work
  • Compress the file afterwards

Weekly meetings

Doodle for the meeting

Dates (make sure you don't miss them): each Saturday at 13:00 UTC

Please prepare some ready-to-paste text about:

• LAST: what you worked on the week before
• BLOCKERS: difficulties, is something blocking you?
• NEXT: plans for the following week

The meetings should be mostly about the big picture - fine details can be discussed outside the meeting.
