GSOC Mentoring #3: Paula grows
Student Florian updated today his road-map and we are at a state to present first Google Summer of Code pre-mid-term results.
Yes! Theres finally code around (http://repo.or.cz/w/paula.core.git
http://repo.or.cz/w/paula.data.git
http://repo.or.cz/w/paula.examples.git
http://repo.or.cz/w/paula.plonepas.git
http://repo.or.cz/w/paula.testing.git).
Florian took a GIT repository and so I learned how to use it. Its simple, on a debian based system do apt-get install git-core and then clone it with git clone git://repo.or.cz/MODULENAME.git
He also published his new roadmap. Together with the paula-concept-paper you can get deeper insights of whats going on.
To summarize: Florian underestimated the complexity of PAS/PlonePAS/membrane and it took him a while to understand the API. So he's a bit behind his schedule. On the other hand he has a good and detailled plan and knows his tasks. So I'am optimistic that he will make it in time. I'll control the schedule and the work done now a bit more.
Florian moved the focus more to two things: Make PAU available in Plone (paula.plonepas) and usage of "content-objects" (some object providing a specific interface) in PAU for auth, properties, group-membership and so on. The LDAP-part is moved out of focus for SoC, but is part of the overall concept. Florian is motivated to continue the project after SoC.
