Hello everyone I am Jayesh Solanki, IT engineering undergraduate student from Mumbai, India.
I have been accepted for Google Summer of Code this year. I have always loved Open Source Softwares and now becoming a part of the Drupal community is just amazing.
For the next 3 months I will be working on porting Disqus module to Drupal 8. The module is available in Drupal 7 where commenting is only supported on Nodes and Users. For Drupal 8
the Disqus module will be generalized to all entities.
The major part of the work is to migrate comments from Drupal to Disqus and viceversa using the Migrate API.
I would like to mention that my mentor Janez Urevc (slashrsm) has been replying and clearing all my silly doubts I have. I will be posting the progress of my project from time to time. Also suggestions and comments that could help the project to become even better are welcome.
Hope to catch you on #drupal, I am angrycodr on IRC :)
And yeah I am really excited for the summer. Cheers !
