Re: [recommenders-dev] Snipmatch
|
Hi Andreas,
Thanks for your reply. We actually do not wish to participate
in GSoC and we do not need an evaluation letter either. But we would
certainly be glad to have a mentor to work under.
What we are
planning to do is re-design the tool (Snipmatch) so as to make it more
extensible. We were looking into the code a few days back and realized
that the code is not easily extensible and lack of documentation is
going to make it more difficult to add features to it. So we thought
instead of making changes to the current code we would like to come up
with a new design that is easily extensible and provides many more
features. As the existing code base is not so huge we think
re-implementing the tool is going to be as time consuming as
understanding the code and extending it.
We will be doing this as a part of our Software Engineering Lab. But
we would like to contribute the outcome to the Code Recommender's
Community. We have already proposed the project (I am attaching the
project proposal with the mail) and got it approved. What we wanted to
know is if this is going to be helpful to the Code Recommender's
Community.
We are aware of the fact that this has been put up as a GSoC project
and hence you may be concerned about the fact that if we and some other
student (through GSoC) takes it up simultaneously then we may end up
doing the same thing twice. But as we would be done with our work by the
end of April and GSoC starts only at the start of May the other student
can continue with the code that we would have written by then. This is our first experience in a professional
environment but we are very enthusiastic about the project and will
definitely try our best.
Thanks again for your time,
Kartik
