About you

  1. My name is Subodh Rohilla
  2. Email : subodh.rohilla@gmail.com
  3. Wiki Use name : Subodh
  4. IRC Nick : sr_rules
  5. Primary Languages : English , Hindi
  6. Location : Delhi ( India) , Time of work : 11:00 am to 9 pm ( GMT + 5:30 )
  7. I have good coding skills and I take regular part in coding events of Local ACM chapter events and spoj.pl . I have lot of experience in PHP and AJAX. My major projects include IBM TGMC 2009 and web designing internship at "A PLUS Solutions Pvt.Ltd."[1] . As far as my contribution to open source is concerned :-
    • I help users in IRC and mailing list by troubleshooting their Problems .
    • I maintain my Institute's LUG Mailing List ( http://groups.google.co.in/group/bit-lug?hl=en ).
    • I use beta releases and report issues to make suggestions to make the software better.

About your project

  1. The name of my project is Beacon
  2. The idea is taken from this proposal and most of the clarification is done by interaction with the mentors through #beacon IRC and Email.
  3. The main aim of this project is to create an online WYSIWYG DocBook editor which will greatly help fedora community in maintaining the documentation. There are various offline Open Source DocBook tools available e.g. serna. But as online tool will be more useful because there are very less requirements on the client side. Some previous work has also been done on an online xml editor Beacon in previous Summers. Now, this summer the idea is to create a wiki editor in which we can include the Beacon as a library to enable editing of the docbook online that too in WYSIWYG way. The approach for creating the editor is to starting with wikimedia software( customized to the look and feel of fedora website) and modifying it to make it extensible with the help of external libraries so that we can add Docbook editing in it. As far as technology useage is concerned the frontend will require knowledge of JavaScript,DOM ,AJAX and html while the backend will be in php and XML. As docbook editing is required , knowledge about XSL is also required to complete this project.
  4. My summer holidays are now running.I am planning to start the work on this project before the actual coding session begins. During that time I will also get more time to interact with mentor. So I am hoping to start the actual coding by Ist June. The timeline is as follows :
    • 1 June - 6 June :- Understanding the Meadiawiki software and working out the exact changes in the software needed.
    • 7 June - 28 June :- Finishing the work on Mediawiki Software
    • 28 June - 5 July :- Starting contingency plan in case projects fails to meet the targettted requirments so that the problem can be tacked up to 90% by 5 June. Otherwise continue interaction at start working on library integration step.
    • 6 July - 27 July :- Work on integraing the library is to be completed.
    • 28 July - 3 August :- If the project is not completed by 29th , then using it as a reserve to commit the final changes. Otherwise testing Starts.
    • 4August - 9 August :- Time to finish the alpha testing and the commiting changes if any by 9th
    • 10 August - 14August :- Finishing the Documentation , Final Reports , Code snapshots and other procedures required for making final submission
  5. I have good coding skills.I am a regular paticipant of the ACM local Chapter in our campus.I have good programming experience with UVa Online Judge, SPOJ and Project Euler. As the project is web-based , I have adequate experience in handling these kind of projects :-
    • I coded in JSP and "AJAX" for a contest organized by IBM that was about Developing an application "Online Medical Home".That project asked to do that using IBM tools like DB2, Websphere.
    • Previous summer I have done full-time internship in web development with "A Plus Solutions Pvt. Ltd". The technologies involved were PHP,Ajax and CSS. I have made significant contribution to their website.

You and the community

  1. If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Fedora community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Fedora community, at least one of whom should be a Fedora Summer Coding mentor. Provide email contact information for non-Summer Coding mentors.
  2. What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?
  3. In addition to the required blogging minimum of twice per week, how do you propose to keep the community informed of your progress and any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?

Miscellaneous

  1. We want to make sure that you are prepared before the project starts
    • Can you set up an appropriate development environment?
    • Have you met your proposed mentor and members of the associated community?
  2. What is your t-shirt size?
  3. Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.
  4. Is there anything else we should have asked you or anything else that we should know that might make us like you or your project more?

Note: you will post this application on the wiki in the category Category:Summer Coding 2010 applications. We encourage you to browse this category and comment on the talk page of other applications. Also, others' comments and your responses on the talk page of your own application are viewed favorably, and, while we don't like repetitive spam, we welcome honest questions and discussion of your project idea on the mailing list and/or IRC.

The NeL project has some good general recommendations for writing proposals. We encourage Summer Coding code to include tests.
