GSoC’17 Coding period | Week #9 | UC-Wishlist




The third phase of the Coding Phase officially kicked off the previous week on July 28th, 16:00, marking the conclusion of the Mid-Evaluation period for Google Summer of Code 2017. At present, I would like to state that I progressed successfully through the mid-term evaluations. The second phase proved to be a worthy learning experience personally resulting . Meanwhile, I have maintained a detailed structure of the code for the port which can be accessed here and have also provided a comprehensive understanding of the current status of the work done in the previous blogpost.

Moving on to the present scenario, the work for the current phase would primarily be to port the ‘Add User wishlist settings’ and ‘Email wishlist’ functionalities. During the gradual completion of the ports, I would also have to deliver the related documentation alongside the designated ports. Additionally, I would have to complete the remaining portion of the ‘Search wishlist’ functionality, and the bugs associated with the port in particular.

Meanwhile, based on a comprehensive analysis for the above mentioned ports, the work done for learning the implementation of the port(s) briefly the earlier week can be stated as:

‘Email wishlist’ option as seen in D8:




Moreover, I would also focus on completing the remaining portion of porting the ‘Search wishlist’ option this week. However, wasn’t able to code much this week, as I had been preoccupied in sorting out few recurring ubuntu issues, which seem to have been fixed as of now.

Overall, the experience so far has been amazing and it’s great to advance onto the final regime of GSoC’17. Winding up, these were the objectives and concepts learned during the eighth week of coding phase in GSoC’17. Hope to learn many more new concepts in the coming weeks for the successful completion of the port.

Cheers!
