Talk:Summer Coding 2010 proposal - Kronikarz

General Feedback

Please work on the following : [1] Mentor's comments and, a non-mentor community member feedback, [2] a bit more detail about your timeline, currently it is much too broad and, does not include parts where you investigate any dependencies/blockers or, factor in testing and user-feedback

Detailed timeline

After the primary negotiation and work sharing it the detailed timeline will be developed. As now it is not clear, what each of students will do, and also each of them can meet complexities. And I also would like to hear students opinions on the detailed timeline and this discussion is in process now.

Detailed work plan of backend

Main classes of backend:

Kronikarz.XMLHookSettings (modules — xml.sax, string, xml.dom.minidom, os.path) — an in-programm storage of software settings ~3 days of 1 week:

• Parsing settings from XML file
• Possibility to creat XML files
• And store settings parameters, as I think /Elemc 18:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)/

I'm not assured that usage xml.sax - good idea, during work we will see. /Elemc 18:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)/

Kronikarz.ArchiveProcess (base class) and Kronikarz.ArchiveProcess(ZIP|TarGz|...) (derived classes) (modules — working with archive, strings, os.path) ~3 days of 1 week:

• Archiving/restoring of files from Kronikarz.XMLHookSettings — in base class
• Support different archiving formats — in derived class

I'm sure this class only for archiving, not for restore. Make a two base function in one class - not good idea. Please fix it. /Elemc 18:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)/

Maybe creating two base classess: Kronikars.ArchivePack and Kronikars.ArchiveUnpack with derived classess? /m0nhawk 27-05-2010 19:16:22 UTC/

Kronikarz.FilesChangesDB (modules — sqlite3, os.path, md5, string) ~6 days of 1 week:

• Hashing of settings files/folders to watch after changes
• Data stored in DB:
  • name of package for what this field in a database? /Elemc 18:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)/
  • files/folders
  • hash (checksum) /Elemc 18:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)/
  • last time check for what this field in a database? /Elemc 18:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)/
  • archive name is a good idea, for restoring incremental backups /Elemc 18:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)/

Here is only things that discussion of which has taken part with mentor.]
