About your project

Q1 :What is the name of your project?

Ans : Homework Turn in - Moodle Integration [possible]

Q2 :Describe your project in 10-20 sentences. What are you making? Who are you making it for, and why do they need it? What technologies (programming languages, etc.) will you be using?

a): What:

b): For whom?:

  1. Deployments which use a schoolserver mostly
  2. Typical classroom environment, school kids.

c): Why?:

  1. Right now, the only possible (or at least, the easiest) way for kids to send back assignments to teachers is to use email.
  2. This does not scale, and causes a disaster if kids/teachers mess up things.
  3. If this is built: it will streamline the entire process,
  4. ... get rid of the dependency on the external Internet.
  5. ... reduce Bandwidth usage.

d): Technologies: PHP, mySQL, Python.

Q3 :What is the time line 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 canceling projects which are not mostly working by then.

Q4 :Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.


You and the community

Q1 :If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs 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 Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.

Ans :

Q2 :Sugar Labs will be working to set up a small (5-30 unit) Sugar pilot near each student project that is accepted to GSoC so that you can immediately see how your work affects children in a deployment. We will make arrangements to either supply or find all the equipment needed. Do you have any ideas on where you would like your deployment to be, who you would like to be involved, and how we can help you and the community in your area begin it?

Ans : I would contact the bunch from India that I know and help out. Happy to work on this, close to Kolkata, probably. Anywhere in India is still fine.

Q3 :What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?

Ans :I will resort to the following means:

  1. Contact the community. Both Moodle and Sugar have a significantly active community.
  2. Contact the GSoC admin for Sugar for a backup mentor in case
  3. Lookup on the internet.
  4. Contact fellow Sugar students.

Q4 :How do you propose you will be keeping the community informed of your progress and any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?

Ans :

  1. Mailing lists.
  2. Wiki updates.
  3. Blog posts.
