Planet SoC

Well, GSoC is almost ending now officially. I am amazed how the time passed so fast.
All and all, it has really been a very nice experience. I have learnt so much and I am really thankful to Google and KDE. Especially I should thank my mentor Riddell, because I always end up doing different than what I communicate with him and he bears that :)

One important lesson I have learnt is how crucial execution of planning is. To be honest, I over planned most of the time and my execution of the plan was haphazard. This can be attributed to gsoc-08 being my first time-tested and planned project.
But importantly I have been productive (atleast in my terms ;) ) and also probably the saying “Aim for sky, you will land up on stars” has worked for me.

So here is the progress report I posted about 12 days before to the mailing list :)
In addition to the above report

• I implemented an expander box item to hide/show the attributes and operations of a Class. Here are the screen shots.

• I ported many more widgets, only 2 more remaining now. ( one point, but more work )
• I implemented constraints for some widgets like - horizontal only movement, vertical only movement, resizable only in one dimension..

Now comes the part regarding the “new beginning”. 1158e4d2f99bae414336bd3e7ea0a6ff

On another note, looks like aKademy as usual is a grand success. It would have been nice to be part of it. I hope to make into it sometime :)
