Summer of Code on John Stowers

SOC Report: Week 1

Sat, 31 May 2008 16:13:55 +0000

Well the first week of summer of code has finished. This week I spend my time evaluating and testing the various options available to (semi)automatically wrap C code (libsyncml ) so that it is accessible from Python. My priorities when evaluating the options go something like,

Capability - the tool should be able to (semi) automatically wrap a large majority of the libsyncml api. Any customizations required in order to make the wrapping more complete should be readable and maintainable by people other than myself.

More Conduit GSOC Ideas

I see that Google has extended the SOC application deadline. Here are some Conduit related SOC ideas for GNOME.

Port Tomboy sync to use Conduit (and get free support for $WEBSERVICES) Use Conduits DBus interface and our C# bindings to said interface to be able to configure and initiate synchronization from Tomboy. This means that peer-to-peer Tomboy sync will get easier (no more ssh fuse), and that support for additional websites/mobile devices will become available.

Work on Conduit is progressing nicely, squashing bugs that have appeared when interacting with the new versions of GNOME applications. I have kind of been tracking the GNOME release schedule (congratulations on the latest release BTW), so I expect to put out another Conduit release this week.

I intend to keep making stable bug fix releases until there are Python GIO bindings. At that time it would probably make sense to branch so that I can begin targeting 2.24, and have the opportunity to land some more invasive changes.

Conduit Updates

Its been a while since I blogged about Conduit , and a lot has been going on. My main task has been working on the conflict resolution UI and on tweaking the conversions between datatypes so as to maintain maximum fidelity. John Carr , the other main Conduit contributor has also been working on some awesome stuff.

Conflict Resolution

During the synchronization process a conflict can occur in any of the following scenarios
