Jia You !!

Looking forward to hearing any feedback from you, especially my mentor :lol:

I also put this on http://nuraini.wordpress.com/2007/04/20/timeline-before-kicking-off/

There are tutorials on dev.joomla.org that you might look at to get you up to speed on modules, components and plugins.  I assume you are writing for 1.5...

Security would be the toughest issue.  You would need a way of ensuring that the email came from where it said it came from.

For permissions, you would need to figure out what address the email came from, verify that the address is from who it said it was, then look up a userid for that email address from the database (#__users) and check to see if the user has permissions to do this.  You shouldn't check editor or publisher status, but use the authorize method.


You will have to speak with Hackwar for this one, because he wrote the new ACL system, and this should be used.


Sending mail is easy, I think.  There is already the phpmailer library that is used, and there are components that do this.  Receiving mail will be the harder part.  We may need a JEmail class in the Joomla.Framework:Client package.  This, I think, will be the hardest part of your project.  I suspect you will have to interact with a pop server or an imap server.  Hopefull pop servers are more uniform than the FTP servers - it has been difficult getting the FTP layer to work.


I guess you will have to specify some sort of format.  You may have to start off strict (i.e. specifying a pretty stringent format that authors must use), and then add functionality to relax this and to more intelligently recognize different parts of the article.

It is great to see you planning well!  Planning will greatly improve the success of your project.  Don't hesitate to ask questions in the 1.5 Development forum, and if you are looking for documentation resources, let me know.  I know where most of the official developer docs are and can point you toward those resources.  There are lots of people around here who have a lot of knowledge and experience working with the Joomla! code and I'm sure they would be happy to help.

I hope the SoC is a great experience for you and I'm looking forward to seeing what you produce!

Cheers,
Ian

wow, Aini, starting so early...

Jia You!!!

You can refer to my initial proposal at http://deviantdev.com/jigg/ for reference though it is not as detailed as yours.

we are supposed to work on second beta of Joomla! 1.5; I guess it will be gonna out soon.

in the meantime, i gonna struggle with my finals.

By the way, wordpress has similar feature.

take care,
DD

Great to see you started. Use the time you have now, it will come in handy. We expierenced a lack of time in the end past year, so you cannot start early enough. Also remember we have a mailing group to discuss things.

Hope I wasn't overstepping in my last post...  The forum was public though, so I thought I would add my 2cents.

Ian

No probs Ian, students are encouraged to use the forums to get community feedback. Thanks for the help

#Ian
thank you for your feedback 

#Jay Shoe
I knew that wordpress has it before I post to this forum
I try to learn it
Perhaps, I will enhance it
I am the person who always makes planning clearly 
I need a goal every week.

Jay shoe, wo de peng you, Jia You !!!

#wilebil
at that timeline, I just make observation, not coding
I spend 2-3 hours every week making a note
exploring Joomla more
I am novice user 

on beginning of June until mid of June I have final exam before summer vacation 
therefore I start early
I hope after mid of June I could run faster as quick as possible
On the other hand, when I will be back to Indonesia about one month. It will be difficult for me to keep in touch with internet
As I wrote in my proposal, Indonesia has limited bandwith 
I must collect all of material that I need for coding
Hopefully, my project will be done on time

Where is better I post my question about SoC project ?
Mailing list  or joomla Forum ?

Best place is the mailing list since this is read by all mentors and students.

Selamat Aini,

I think this book would be quite helpful to us.

Learning Joomla! Extension Development: http://www.joomla.org/content/view/3235/33/

It would be great if the author would give free copies to GSoC students . We can proof-read .

Cheers,
DD

Good idea, i'll see what i can do.

Hai (better than selamat)Jay Soe,

It was exciting that you tried to write Indonesia language :)
But don't use "selamat" :)
Selamat means congratulation
