Re: Getting Introduced with the Community and Looking forward to Contribute to the Project as part of Gsoc 2014

Hi,

I had looked at the Project Ideas being proposed by you and other
mentors/developers
here http://plone.org/events/summer-of-code/2014/ideas-list

I found two of the ideas very appealing to work as a prospective student on
those ideas
as part of the upcoming Google Summer of Code 2014.

[1]  Improved Text Transforms

[2]  Automatic theme conversion to a diazo theme.

The skills needed in these project matches with my desired skills and I
would like
to work on one of these ideas as part of Gsoc 2014.

Now I would like to discuss these ideas in detail with the mentors.

- mentor for the first Idea is not mentioned. Who would be the possible
mentor for that
project.



*Improved Text Transforms *Some work has been done in the previous Gsoc.

Work that needs to be done as mentioned is to integrate the previous work
done
into Plone and conversion of existing OOTB transforms.
Adding of new transforms like syntax highlighting and Latex.

I had looked at the source code of plone.tranforms present on the github and
got acquainted to start working.

Could you Please guide me where shall I start working on this as the first
step
and make some contribution to the source code.



*Automatic theme conversion to a diazo theme*
Work could be done to transform the old sites "theme" into an installable
Diazo theme
package as part of the same content migration process. This would result in
a new plone
site with the same content and theme as the original site. The crawler
would have to be
modified to also dump a representative page and map the content area and
navigation
into Diazo rules.

I had looked at the source code present on the github.

http://github.com/collective/funnelweb
https://github.com/collective/transmogrify.webcrawler

Since I was not aware of the diazo theme, I had learned about diazo to work
on the
Plone theme and on this key project idea.
http://docs.diazo.org/en/latest/

For this, I would need the help of the mentor (Dylan Jay : mentioned on the
ideas list)
to start working on this project idea.


Since both of the ideas are very appealing for me to work on, finally I
would be working
on one of these ideas, I would like to seek some help in deciding the final
project idea
most suitable for Plone improvements for me to work on as a prospective
student
in the upcoming Google Summer of Code 2014.


Thanks
