I created a "Backlog" section and moved all the items from "PHP 5.3/Future PHP releases" and "PHP 6/Undiscussed" to it. This will serve as a general repository for any items that have been mentioned, but on which we have not made a decision yet. Items that have been decided on should go into the corresponding version's section. Also, please go through PHP 6 section [http://wiki.php.net/todo/php60] and remove or update any items that have been done or the scope of which has changed. Thanks, -Andrei --- ## #43337 — Hannes Magnusson — 2009-03-13T12:57:22+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/43321#43337 · In reply to: #43321 > Also, please go through PHP 6 section [http://wiki.php.net/todo/php60] and > remove or update any items that have been done or the scope of which has > changed. Regarding the migration item... Wasn't there a gsoc project last year that did exactly that? -Hannes --- ## #43342 — Andrei Zmievski — 2009-03-13T20:27:26+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/43321#43342 · In reply to: #43337 Hannes Magnusson wrote: > Regarding the migration item... > Wasn't there a gsoc project last year that did exactly that? I think there was, but I don't know if they actually did anything. -Andrei --- ## #43343 — David Coallier — 2009-03-13T22:46:35+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/43321#43343 · In reply to: #43342 2009/3/13 Andrei Zmievski : > Hannes Magnusson wrote: > > […] > > I think there was, but I don't know if they actually did anything. > Actually there was one which I was proposing to mentor since you weren't there Andrei, but it basically got no attention whatsoever and not proposal from the students, thus no project :) Hope this helps a bit. -- Slan, David --- ## #43344 — Hannes Magnusson — 2009-03-13T22:55:53+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/43321#43344 · In reply to: #43343 > 2009/3/13 Andrei Zmievski : > > […] > > Actually there was one which I was proposing to mentor since you > weren't there Andrei, but it basically got no attention whatsoever and > not proposal from the students, thus no project :) Scott did. I have asked _multiple_ times about the status of the project, all I got was "he passed". Quote from Scott (from few months ago): "he was to implement unicode support in more modules and convert an application. He's in the process of writing a conversion guide and I believe he did openssl, imap and updated date." I am still looking forward to see the results, even though its almost a year behind schedule. -Hannes --- ## #43345 — David Coallier — 2009-03-13T23:39:47+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/43321#43345 · In reply to: #43344 > Scott did. > I have asked _multiple_ times about the status of the project, all I > got was "he passed". > > Quote from Scott (from few months ago): > "he was to implement unicode support in more modules and convert an application. > > He's in the process of writing a conversion guide and I believe he did > openssl, imap and updated date." > > I am still looking forward to see the results, even though its almost > a year behind schedule. Ah yeah I remember now. Well, in a way, good to know the student has passed. Did we get more % one the completion? I'd say that 69% is merely a change from the last 2 years. Anyways, issues with students and progress should be somewhat resolved this year with the new approach to student mentoring and student reporting tasks I'd say. -- Slan, David --- ## #43346 — Hannes Magnusson — 2009-03-14T00:33:39+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/43321#43346 · In reply to: #43345 (looping in gsoc@) > > […] > > Ah yeah I remember now.

One guy dropped out (the llvm guy). From my perspective, he is the onlyone (with one exception) who _really_ put work into his project - and do you remember his application? WOW! If he is still interested, I am willing to do my own personal "summer of code" sponsoring his project (it'd be great if couple of guys would join me on that one though.. :P). The rest of the folks just got a "free pass" because their mentors either didn't care or were to busy to review their "work". Well, except for my student, obviously :) - He did everything he was supposed to do (and even more then that), he participated on IRC and sent out mails to the relevant mailingsts regularly. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to convince him to devote his "free time" after the "gsoc project" ended (which really is an shame - he really did a good job and *our* project, and we really could use a guy like him to continue working with us. As a side note: I was a "gsoc student" 2 years ago. I passed - even though "my mentor" was totally unavailable. I didn't have any "secondary mentor". Fortunately, I knew my way around php.net (as I had been a php.net contributor for several years) so I "found myself" a new mentor (Philip), and the project turned out to workout quite alright. > Anyways, issues with students and progress should be somewhat resolved > this year with the new approach to student mentoring and student > reporting tasks I'd say. I really hope so. But I still would like stricter rules, both for acceptance (to the project) and for project delivery. Keep in mind, the students are expect to treat the project as a near-full-time projects. Not a 2hours-a-week OSS work. -Hannes
