Re: FSF spring internship applicant looking for a GNU project

[Darshan kadu]

Thank you for allowing me to work on this project.

So, for the first step (how can I find the mentor) anyone wants to help me to get in this project?

As of now, I have build the octave did some experiments with code. 

The project description  http://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#GUI_Variable_Editor_and_Property_Inspector says first to know how the variable editor was implemented.

Using this knowledge I will have to work on Property inspector. 

Well, How can I break this task? 

Which small tasks or aspects should I work on initially?

Hello,

I have build the Octave on my machine.

I would like to start work on this project -->  http://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#GUI_Variable_Editor_and_Property_Inspector

But this project is for GSoC'18, so is it fine if I start working on it, 

as my work will complete some tasks that to be done in GSoC project. 

I don't believe there is any problem starting this.  However, there is no mentor signed up yet.  I think the first step is to have someone willing to be a guide for this project.  Possibilities might include jwe (he worked a lot on the Variable Editor), torsten (he understands GUI programming quite well), or Dan Sebald (he has been working on Qt code recently), or another volunteer from the Octave Maintainers list.  But, of course, I can't volunteer anyone's time so I don't know how busy they are right now.
