	~~'''About Me:'''~~

	~~''Name: ''Neha Maan~~

	~~''Email Address:'' nehaforgsoc@gmail.com~~

	~~''Sugar Labs Wiki Username:'' Nehamaan~~

	~~''IRC Nickname: neha''~~

	~~''First Language: ''Hindi (comfortable with English too.)~~

	~~''Location & Time: ''India, UTC +5:30~~
	~~Work Time: 11:00AM - 5:00PM~~

	''Previous Open Source Participation: ''None. I want to work on an open source project this summer as I enjoy programming but what I enjoy more is lots of people using and benefiting from my programs and I find this the easy and efficient way reach lots of people. Apart from the joy I will gain experience and will be able to give something back to the Open Source Community that has given me (and everyone else) so much.

	~~'''About My Project:'''~~

	~~''Name:'' Abacus JS~~

	''Description:'' I am porting the current Abacus activity from python to JS, this is part of the larger push by Sugar Labs towards JS (most GSoC projects are JS ports). Although I do plan to add some new features, the biggest benefit for users would be speed as JS is usually 6-6.5 times faster than Python this shall enable us to add some fancy effects and save dome battery. In this project I would be using standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JS)

	''Timeline:'' I have a little more than 8 weeks of coding time and eleven abacai to code. A lot of these abacai are similar to each other so I plan to divide them into groups where a lot of code can be reused and then start from the easiest group. This will help learn as I progress and also save me time.
	* Week 1: In this week I plan to finish the Binary and Decimal Abaci in this time as I -get comfortable with Sugar OS and its workings.
	* Week 2: In this week I would like to complete my work on the suanpan soropan and -nepohualtzintzin abacai as they are almost identical to each other and most of the -code can be shared between them.
	* Week 3: I will work on the schety abacus and try to complete the more difficult -fractions (+ only) abacai.
	* Week 4: I will complete the fraction (+/-) abacai and start working on the last and -most weird 'Cuisenaire-style rods'.
	* `-~- Mid-Term Evaluation-~-`
	* Week 5: Custom Abacai Creator
	* Week 6: Reserved for Bug Testing and Fixing.
	* Week 7&8 : I leave these weeks as buffer in case something gets delayed.

	''Past Work:'' I have created many small sites as a hobby and once created an app with PhoneGap for learning purposes. I have created a game with Unity3D(uses JS) too. Infact to see how difficult creating a abacus would be, I tried my hand at the Binary Abacus <s>and will upload the file and update with a link soon.</s> [http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=54153356267722071902 Click Here] to download (Proof of Concept Binary Abacus).

	~~'''Me and the Community:'''~~

	''Effect on Community:'' I am familiar with web technologies but not with the Sugar OS, the problems I will face will be faced by a lot of future web developers developing for Sugar too, So I plan to create a Blog/Wiki-page where I would post my problems and their solutions. This ,I believe, will help in attracting more developers and expanding the community.

	~~Paragraph 2&3: Pending. I am writing this proposal at the last moment and do not have time to exchange emails, I will get opinions from other people and update this entry as soon as possible.~~

	~~''What if I get Stuck and my mentor isn't around ?''~~

	I have learned most of the programing I know from the internet and books and therefore rarely had a mentor to help me. Over this time I have learned how to find solutions to my problems on Google and Stack Overflow but if they fail too then I would try to seek help from community using IRC or mailing lists.

	~~''How Do I plan to keep the community informed about my problems and progress ?''~~

	~~I will use the aforementioned wiki-page/blog to share my problems and progress.~~

	~~'''Miscellaneous:'''~~

	~~''Development Environment:'' I am currently downloading sugar and would update with screen-shots soon.~~

	~~''Pull-Request:'' Pending, would update asap.~~

	~~''A Great Learning Experience:''~~

	When I was in 3rd standard I would tear open my old electric toys and create small circuits with lights nad motors in them. One day I realized that if I connect a wire and LED bulb in parallel the bulb no longer glows. I asked my father about this and he told me that current always flows from the path of least resistance. At that time I wondered how does current know which is the path of least resistance beforehand, how can it predict the future ?
	Few years later, in 10th standard, we were taught about electricity and our book contained a beautiful analogy comparing flow of current in wires to the flow of water in pipes where more resistance meant thinner pipes. That day I learned the importance of thinking out of the box and looking at problems from different point of views.

	''Anything Else:''When I was in primary school we were given the summer-holiday homework to create an Abacus almost every other year. Sadly, we were never taught how to use an abacus. This summer I get to make many Abacai and have learned to use (most of) them too.
