First Progress Report & Future Plans

Hi readers,
This post is going to be a short one focusing on giving an overview of the work done from the starting of the coding period to the work foreseen up until the next week that is the end of the mid term evaluations. It has been quite some time since the coding period has started and my project has made an ample amount of progress during this period. So let's get started:
I had divided the project in three phases:

• Phase1 : Changes in mailman core.
• Phase2 : Implementing the REST API.
• Phase3 : Front end(Postorius).

Of these I had proposed to complete Phase1 by the end of Midterm Evaluations(i.e., 27th June) and with about a week in hand I am pretty sure that I will be able to complete it according to the proposed timeline.
Work done so far:

• Add new IStyleable Interface(Done): https://gitlab.com/_Harshit_/mailman/tree/IStyleable_Interface

• Design and implement:

1.  IStylet interface(Done): https://gitlab.com/_Harshit_/mailman/tree/IStylet_Interface
2.  IStyletManager interface(Done): https://gitlab.com/_Harshit_/mailman/tree/IStyletManager_Interface
3.  IStyle interface(Implementation part done, testcases remaining): Will be done as soon as the two default styles get ported.
4.  IStyleManager interface(Implementation part done, testcases remaining):Will be done as soon as the two default styles get ported.

• Port the two default styles: Currently working on this.

• Refactor and make some changes in the implementation IMailingList: Almost done. Requires testing which will be done as soon as the above mentioned three works get finished.

Future Plans:

From the next month(coding period 2, three days reserved for tiding up code, make up for any delay and to recieve approval from mentor), I am planning to start working on the implementation of the REST API and will try to complete it within about one and a half week after which I will start working on Phase3(Postorius). I am thinking of submitting the two merge requests related to the phase1 and phase2 at the end of phase2 so that if I feel a need to make some changes in the core while implementing the REST API I would be able to do that.

Stay connected for more.

Thanks,
Harshit Bansal
