    • As a student majoring in computer science, I have a lot of chances involving in Open Source at school and really learned a lot from the Open Source code. So it impressed me deeply that Open Source is such a useful and great thing. Now that there's a chance to contribute to Open Source, I think I should grasp it.

About my project

Project name

Misc Features for Ailurus

Reference

These features are all proposed by myself, based on Ailurus project: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010_ideas_-_Customizable_application_installer

Description

Ailurus is an application which makes GNU/Linux distributions easier to use. It helps new users of GNU/Linux to install and configure software easily, and learn some useful Linux skills and so on.

Ailurus is a good software for newbies of GNU/Linux and also a good platform for developers. So I propose to add some new features to in and enhance some of the existing features.

What I will do:

  • Study Linux Component:
    1. Linux Commandline Study: list the typical examples of most command, we can also crawl some wonderful commands from http://www.commandlinefu.com/
    2. Linux System Study: Provide the basic knowledge of user's specific distribution, such as fedora, ubuntu and so on.Besides there's also a test system for these knowledge.
    3. Put the existing features into a separate window.
  • Better "About Ailurus": add animation effect just like "About Gimp"
  • "System Settings" enhancement: specific font adjustment, login as root and so on

Python is the main developing language.

Timeline

  • Week 1: half a week for surveying and designing; in next half week, communicate with mentor and determine the detail scheme.
  • Week 2: implement the "Study Linux Component" feature.
  • Week 3: implement the "Better 'About Ailurus' " feature and " 'System Settings' enhancement " feature, and meanwhile invite other developers or users to test and find bugs.
  • Week 4: half a week for final testing and fixing bug, the other half for writing documents and project submission

In fact, designing, testing and writing documents goes simultaneously with writing codes. The timeline just shows the thing I'm mainly focused on during that period.
