Tasks

For all tasks please report any difficulties as they appear, share time estimations for your tasks, collaborate with other members.

T0: Getting started

Assigned students: all

T1: Build Kexi

Build kdb/kproperty/kreport frameworks, then Kexi: Kexi/Building. Note: the build instructions are combined with Calligra insteuctions and may be incomplete/ouitdated; you have to deal with this quite realistic situation to learn how to overcome challenges.' Report any difficulties, collaborate during this tasl. Master basic build and debug-related activities to prepare for further tasks.

Assigned students: all

T2: Build mdbtools

Build the original https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools so it is possible to test contributed patches before sending upstream. These builds are not needed for Kexi itself, Kexi.git keeps a copy (snapshot) of mdbtools lib without any extra tools, and the code is possible patched.

Assigned students: all

Achievements

Nov 10

  • Priyanshu Jain: found that sdc.py isn't ported to python 3 in kdb.git (unlike in kreport.git)

Collaboration

Often more than student is working within the program. Please collaborate and support each other (IRC, mailing list, Skype). Ability to cooperate is as highly scored as pure technical skills.
