project update

Hi,

I have been doing a bit of work on e-Commerce moving towards the new release. I am also stepped back and taken a look at what is important and what is needed to be released. Basically when it was all broken down it there are 3 major areas which need to be completed.

The update status feed that Drupal.org produces is marked up with the Dublin Core namespace. This is, I suppose, a "good thing", but essentially useless information in the absence of anything else more meaningful. How would we represent this information in an ideal world? What can be done with existing schemas and vocabularies?

Here's a snippet:

The half of the Summer of Code period seems to have passed so quickly as a Cray XT4 prints out "hello world". This not only means these machines are very fast, but also that I enjoyed much of the time i spent working on my project. Lets have a quick overview what has been done so far, and what is to be done in the second term.

The unfortunate consequence of Google's SoC is that most people have exams during the project period, and this greatly effects the progress. I had two big exams, of the material of 2-3 years of stuff. I failed one, and in order to stay at uni i had to pass the second. That is done, now the update.

After last week's update I started to plan and code the proposed API following the scheme of the Forms API. This will provide developers with a very familiar way to construct graphic objects using the already known FAPI-like array structure. Right now the drawing_get_canvas is being worked on, this function is the core of the rendering, and is responsible to collect the objects, placing them on the drawing canvas.
