GSoC status update, week -1
This week I spent mostly fighting with infrastructure (Trac, web page, mailing lists, and so on), and reading further into specs. Just a week of research, and coding start date, May 26th, should be just right to actually start coding.
Today, I received a surprise book from Google. All the rumours on students' mailing list about it being beautiful are fully confirmed ;]
Work done this week
- Further work on infrastructure: Trac versions, milestones, ticket types etc
- Establishing rough roadmap, published at Roadmap page of project's Trac.
- Completed referenes on ProtocolInformation Wiki page
- Started a list of existing implementations and providers on ExistingImplementations Wiki page
- More documentation reading: finished OpenID and Yadis; XRI and relevant RFCs are still left to read
Plans for next week
- Initialize Darcs repository with code skeleton (directory structure, .asd file, package, etc), link darcsweb from main page and wiki
- Finish list of existing implementation and providers
- Complete list of libraries that I will use (especially cryptography and XML-related ones)
