Hey !

I hear some of you saying What's up ? I haven't posted for a long time - that's not because I'm lazy, it's simply because I'm too busy ! I'll keep this post short 'n sweet. Here's a short update on my progress.

Succinct list of things I am working on right now:

• Documenting all unicode functions in PHP (0%)
• Finishing Doctrine_XML_Import, with full ORM functionalities and support for Doctrine special options (~40%)
• Documenting Doctrine_XML_Import (0%)
• Start writing some API documentation in Jaws' wiki (0%)
• Sessions, authentication and configuration core objects (~30%)

Also, something great to mention, there's currently a vote on Jaws-PHP6's final name on the Jaws-Dev mailing list. If you have not cast your vote / voiced your opinion, do it as soon as possible ! More on that soon.

I also discussed a project idea I had that does not apply directly to my GSoC project (well, not yet) with Pablo Fischer. Basically, we'd like to great a big repository from which any user with an installed Jaws website could fetch/install/update new gadgets/themes/plugins automagically. That means each gadget/theme/plugin would have its own development and version number. The repository would also be available via the web and tarballs will be available for download for the website administrators that do not want the administration panel to take care of everything. I'll soon RFC on the mailing list and I hope you'll all give your ideas on how we could improve and implement this idea !

Finally, I filled in the Google summer of code mid-term survey today which means I'll soon get my second payment (of $2000 USD). Yep, that's great !
