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.
    * April, 27th
          o relationship author and publisher towards an article
          o API Joomla database (if it is necessarry)
          o goal :
                + making planning for fixing current Joomla system. Every author or publisher has reponsibilty for each category. However there is possible one author or publisher handled many categories
You will have to speak with Hackwar for this one, because he wrote the new ACL system, and this should be used.
    * May, 4th
          o API Joomla for writing
          o goal :
                + comprehension of howto write article , news on Joomla. It needs for writing through email
    * May, 11 th
          o API Joomla for mail
          o goal :
                + Howto send and receive email on Joomla
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.
    * May, 18 th
          o Email contain parsing
                + Finding out on Joomla or another API programming for parsing email.
                + If it is possible, writing article by mail nut just approving and deleting from email client.
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.
Finally,

    * May, 25 th Preparation
          o writing timeline for next section
          o installation tools

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

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
thank you for your feedback  :laugh:

#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  8)

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 ?

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
