Google Summer Of Code Is Nearly Over
I have just completed the code for the Google Summer of Code. I only need to clean up the code and document some part of it, post the patches… And that is all!
We encountered a much harder class to write than planned. Of course, since it was deemed as deadly easy, so I left it until the very end of the project. It took me more than a week to complete it. I had to dig in the deeper internal of Jackrabbit to complete it (for the Jackrabbit savvy, it was all about restoring the Node Version Histories). As the saying say, 80% of your time is used on 20% of the project and of course you realize it at the very end.
A big thanks to Jukka Zitting from the ASF. Without him, I don’t know if I could have completed the project on time. Of course thank you to the Jackrabbit community for their patience and their technical help. Jackrabbit is a really interesting project with a bright future.
I guess I will soon have a cool Tshirt to wear!
I plan to keep working on this project and commit new code to Jackrabbit. Especially since it is linked to my Master’s Thesis.
Thanks to my employer all the work on my master’s thesis is opensource. I will put there all the relevant material with the source code. More to follow on this subject.
