[SoC] Progress Reports?

[Kevin Clark]

Hi guys,
I was curious how the other GSoC projects worked out. I've seen
announcements for Ariel and Ruport which appear to be doing well.
Florian said that Rudebug is almost ready. What about the others?

Just in case folks missed my end of SoC report on O'Reilly for Ruport:

I too would be interested in seeing links or summaries of how the
other projects went, now that the dust is starting to clear

GlimR (OpenGL GUI toolkit in Ruby) dev chiming in.

First, it's been great, thanks to everyone involved!

I got to around 80% of my project goals. The foundation is done,
advanced things are missing or broken and there's certainly
room for optimization.

There's a SoC post mortem in my dev blog -- way things went
and what I learned:

Gregory pretty much told everything about the actual SoC process
in his post. Fun way to spend the summer, check. Race to 0.1.0 for
new projects, check. Slow shipping, check

Sorry for late reply, I did not have an internet connection for a while.
I plan to write some ex-post notes on my work, but as of now, I have a
dummy minimal screencast[1] if someone wants to get a clue on what I was
doing. Which is, automagic administration interface for Nitro/Og.

The video is in flash (istanbul crashes on my box, someone has to
rewrite that in ruby sooner or later and does not show all the
features (i.e. changing controls for a field, hiding/reordering them and
so on) but could give you a hint.
Also, please ignore the slowness, it is due to wink[2] (too much disk
access probably, maybe I should get a new disk after 5 years ).

Basically, the thing is working and most of the proposed points are
done, but it is still fragile, many enhancements can be done easily, I
think, and some harder ones would be nice.

Work will continue on it, anyway, even if SoC is ended

permanent link, I want to do a better video and will then link it from
http://nitroproject.org
