Week 3: Getting Ready to Code

The community bonding period is drawing to an end this week, which means we begin the actual coding work on our projects starting next week! I am quite excited to start writing code :).

So far, I have finalized most of the design and workflow for the two features I am developing for my project. There are still a few loose ends with regards to design hanging around, which will be tied up soon. My project wiki is now updated with the design details and awaiting the approval of my mentor, Madhu :).

The main additions and modifications to the design this week were:

• Some changes to the user_page.py data model. The multi-valued properties job.py and education.py data models were scrapped to be replaced by a simple biography text field where users can write whatever they would like to share with the community.
• Detailed workflows for Calendars and Maps feature (addition/request new events). Here are the usecase diagrams.
• Both events and user_page data models have a tags property which is basically a comma-separated string with tags related to the user or event(e.g. C#, Java, Django). Users can also be given to the option to subscribe for feeds to be notified of events with certain tags.
• I have also done a detailed timeline, with a list of deliverables for every week up until the mid-term to keep be oriented and directed with aims for every week.

Coming up next week:

• Coding, coding all the way!
• Follow timeline closely to reach the weeks' goals.
• Resolve any bugs/issues, if assigned.
