GSoC status update, week 0
Your hacking starts... NOW! Official coding period has started yesterday. Dependencies have been downloaded, first lines of code have been written, first commit has just been pushed to the repository. The real work has started; now it's time to write actual code. ;) From now on, updates will be posted twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday.
Work done this week
- Initialized code repository
- Did research and initial choices on libraries:
- Hunchentoot and Drakma for initial HTTP server and client
- Ironclad for cryptography-related stuff
- FiveAM for unit tests
- For XML, no final decision yet… I'll start with XMLS for its simplicity, and maybe move on if it doesn't work well
- Probably will need something for safe random number generation, will leave that one for later and stick with
(RANDOM), seeded with/dev/randomif possible, for now - Possibly some library for parsing will be needed; CL-PPCRE, or maybe some variant of Meta?
- Linked and described repository, needed libraries, darcsweb and cut-and-paste HOWTO for getting the code with dependencies on Wiki front page
- Prepared workplace, without local OpenID Provider for testing yet
Problems
Small delays related with final exams. Didn't complete list of existing implementations and reference providers, neither read much about the XRI thing. Still have some exams this week, and at least two more on June 9 and 11, but they should not cause significant delays
Plans for next half-week
- Finish list of implementation and providers
- Set up local OpenID Provider on my workstation for testing
- Initial work on ID normalization plus unit tests
Lemonodor-fame is but a hack away!

English, English, English! Nie: „(...) lines of code has been written”, tylko „(...) have been written”, „dependencies have been downloaded”, etc, etc. Sprawdzaj proszę posty zanim je opublikujesz :)

@odder – dzięki za uwagi, tekst poprawiłem. Ech, a o dokładnie te same błędy czepiam się innych… wstyd.
