It was suggested that students write about what they have done and what 
they aim to achieve by the end

So,

What have I done,
Been working on the new bugtracker, doing more work on classes and 
behind the scene type things which will hopefully make the bugtracker 
quick and responsive as well as making it extendable to include new 
features and the like.

What I aim to do,
Get basic bug reporting and commenting and the assigning stuff operational,
Get email stuff suitable, including subscribe.

After and beyond
API stuff and restful interface

I'm usually rubbish at writing these sorts of things, hence its a little 
short and tres non-descriptive.
Please feel free to ask me questions :-)

Thanks for the work. Once the GSoC is over you have to write a bit more
fear :-)


Best regards,

    Can you name specifically three things you've learned during the
first half of the summer that you didn't know before?  For example:
working on this project also gave you familiarity with working with a
group and meeting deadlines; the project taught you how to work with
version control software; you developed a more intimate knowledge of
the PHP internals; et cetera.

    We know what we're getting out of the experience with your
involvement with the project, I'm just curious as to how it's working
out on your end.

1) working with object orientated properly, writing classes and the 
like, this is my first time using classes that I have written,
2) working with version control, git and cvs, I publish to my git local 
repo, and then push to CVS, I have some nice alias functions on my box 
to make it quicker,
3) More difficult to pick something, for item 3, there is a lot I have 
learned, expanding my PHP, SQL (mysqli) knowledge, as well as all the 
team stuff and working with the team in a different way, I mean looking 
at them as users, rather than team members

No doubt I will add to this soon :-)

This is top posting. It means I get my dessert before my main course.

This is bottom posting. This way, I'm full at the right end of the meal.
Or all the messages are in the right order.
