This is the first update of the Rules Monkey Summer of Code project. I will try to produce updates on a regular basis (one in a week or two), although I'm quite busy with exams and university stuff right now (generally in June). Updates will be published in this group at groups.drupal.org and link to the updates will be added to the wiki page.
I had a meeting with my mentor (fago) today and we discussed my first task: the implementation of scheduled jobs handling (listing and cancellation). This is part of improving the scheduling system at all, which was planned later, but due to user requests we will do it as a starting point. This will be covered in this issue: http://drupal.org/node/455560
The tasks I have to do in the upcoming days and weeks are:
- Getting familiar with Rules at all - reading, testing. experimenting
- Evaluate Views for building the scheduled jobs list
- Look at the schema API (database change will be necessary)
- Look at the menu system and form system (how to place the list)
- Hacking and committing to CVS!
- Providing a patch in the related issue
Further planning and next steps will be fixed in the next meeting with my mentor in about two weeks.
