GSOC 2011: ssc Week 6

Most of the work this week has gone into the File Handler. Adding and removing files in appliances has been implemented although there is a lot of work left to be done to make this robust. Right now its pretty basic. However I’m going to ease up on adding functionality right now to make the app more robust and usable. The mid-term evaluations are coming up and the plan is to have a usable app that is community tested by then. Not to say that new features won’t be added over the next two weeks, but it will be a second priority. In making the app more stable, the following things will be addressed:

  1. Ruby 1.8.7 (backward) compatibility
  2. Extended test-suite including integration tests which require a network connection
  3. Better error handling.
  4. A method to roll back changes in case of failure.
  5. Documentation.

That will be the focus over the next two weeks building up to the mid-term evaluation. Thank you for reading. As always you can check out the core here
