About my project
- My Project name is Docbook Based Wiki using Beacon.
- My project is came from Ideas page, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010_Ideas_-_Beacon
- Beacon is WYSIWYG editor for XML based documents. It is web based and extensively makes use of Javascript and XSL. From last year's GSoC, Beacon supports Docbook editing, so its very easier for non-programmers to contribute to documentation on fedora's website etc. The aim of project is to make a online WYSIWYG DocBook editor as an extension of MediaWiki, creating a wiki editor in which I would be make use of Beacon as a library. I would be using Javascript, CSS, XML, HTML, DOM, PHP, Ajax technologies to make this project.
- This is my schedule as discussed with my mentor Nandeep Mali for the project:
- 1 June-8 June : Understanding the MediaWiki and its extension architecture, how extension works on MediaWiki.
- 9 June-16 June : Coding starts to make a extension for MediaWiki using Beacon as a Library.
- 17 June-24 June : Coding Continues..
- 25 June-2 July : Extension code almost done.
- 3 July-10 July : Mid-term evaluation by Mentor
- 11 July-18 July : Test of the Extension on MediaWiki and fixing bugs/errors.
- 19 July-26 July : Mentor evaluation of the MediaWiki Extension. Mentor final commments and report guidelines.
- 27 July-3 August : Making Documnetation for the extension developed so that future development on it would be easier for another developer or so.
I have strong PHP, JavaScript, Ajax Background and coded modules for drupal too. My work is on http://uditsharma.in for reference. I can complete the above project in given timelines because I am pretty much familiar to these technologies which project wants.
Me and the community
- If my project is successfully completed than:
- Non-Pragrammers would be able to edit the wiki pages as WYSIWYG way.
- Documentation of the extension makes future development possible on this project.
- If I got stuck in my project and my mentor is not there than I would discuss with other community members, which have knowledge in this technologies and than would make a wordaround and continue on my project.
- I will make sure that my mentor would get weekly updates and for testing the code or evaluation.
Miscellaneous
- Extra Things
- I setup the enviroment for the project on my local machine.
- I met personally with my mentor i.e. Nandeep Mali.

- Learning experience you had as a child:
I am inspired with my father's brother. He got his computer machine in his college days and I was in class 7th at that time, I used to play games on that earlier, I saw him with some coding stuffs which he do and told him to teach me all that and that's how I started in the computer as coder. I remember that day when I created my first and unique project on automobiles with Visual Basic in class 11th. After my 12th class, I got to know about linux, I installed Fedora on my local machine and started to learn it and how to write code on linux and all. How to make open source applications and all.
