Q.3 : '''What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is 7 weeks long, May 23 - August 10; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (July 6-13); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.'''

Ans : Since overall quite a lot of work is involved including learning many new things, therefore I specially aim to use the preios between filing my application and the actual begining of GSoc to maximum use. I aim to make my self done with Telepathy's existing source code in this period along with having a first draft of the TP interface to to announce files, retrieves files from contact and request a file in this period only.

''Before GSoc''
*As a start I will be done with step 1 and step 2 by April 8. Here is the 'yet to be complete' [[0-th]] Draft of the TP specification.
*After this I will be starting with TP's source code to get a hang of it. This will be finished by maximum by April end.
*I will have 2-3 hours/day ( may lesser on few days) in May to start coding for step 3.
''During Gsoc''
*Step 3 will be finished maximum by 2nd week of June.
*After this I will start working on the design and the implementation of the GUI required to use the feature of making files public. This task will be done with by the end of 1st week of July.
*Having done with the GUI Python code will be written to actually retrieve the files. This will be done by the 2nd week of July.
*The rest of the July will be consumed for rigorous testing.
*A buffer of 2 weeks is kept for any kind unpredictable delay.
''After Gsoc''
*Find a way to share files locally i.e. via Salut and implement it.

"So what I mean is, this feature, file sharing, has been part of the Sugar design since before Sugar existed."

''' From Andrés Ambrois :'''
If this project succeeds it will be providing a very important missing piece in Sugar's vision of a learning environment, encouraging content creation and distribution in a local, peer-based fashion.
From my experience here in Uruguay, the collaboration possibilities are being largely ignored in the classroom, partially because of infrastructure problems, but also because of the lack of semantically basic functions such as this.

# We want to make sure that you can set up a [[DevelopmentTeam#Development_systems|development environment]] before the summer starts. Please send us a link to a screenshot of your Sugar development environment with the following modification: when you hover over the XO-person icon in the middle of Home view, the drop-down text should have your email in place of "Restart." See the image on the right for an example. It's normal to need assistance with this, so please visit our IRC channel, #sugar on irc.freenode.net, and ask for help.

Ans : Large
Ans : XL
Q.7 : Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.
Ans : I was always afraid of maths during childhood and never used to score good in the subject. Then at a certain time I watched this show on Discovery where they were showing how to visualise maths problem in head. I adopted that methodology in Maths and their has been no looking back. This proved useful not only in maths but in other subjects especially Physics.
Q.8 : 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?
Ans : No
