Hello Everyone,
I am Umar Ahmad ,a Computer Science undergrad, from India. My Project for GSOC this year is to integrate the services of Pocket for Drupal Fluxkraft distribution. fluxkraft is a module suite and distribution for automating your social-media workflows! Connect and automate tools like facebook, twitter, flickr and dropbox or schedule tweets to promote your website content! It is an OpenSource alternative to services like IfTtT, Zapier or Cloudwork. For really becoming a usable alternative more and more services should be integrated to Fluxkraft.

The main goal is to build a module for integrating the Pocket API in the fluxkraft distribution for Drupal 7. In addition that project can be an example for revising the existing Documentation, to add to better support future service integrators.
As a result of the project there should be a Drupal module that adds Pocket functionality to fluxkraft. For example making it possible to retrieve and post articles to Pocket, filtering stored items by tag and adding and removing tags to items.
The documentation shall be updated to support other developers for implementing new services, like Youtube, Github, Yammer and co.

You might find my Proposal (http://goo.gl/g5UpZY) helpful for the details and my approach regarding the project.

An initiative to implement this was already started as a sandbox project by my mentor Johannes Haseitl (derhasi). I'll be commiting changes on this project on github (https://github.com/Gleek/fluxpocket). I'll also keep posting my experiences and progress regarding the project on my blog http://gleek.github.io/ .

Please free to contact me through my Drupal page. You may also find me on drupal IRC channels (#drupal-google #drupal-contribute). Hoping to have an exciting summer.

Hello Everyone,
A basic working model for fluxpocket is complete and almost all the Pocket API rules are working correctly.
Since I wrote everything from scratch, I'm the only one to test it yet!
It would be helpful if more people review and test the project, for it's successful implementation.
You can find the project on github link in the post and also as a sandbox project (https://drupal.org/node/2282655).
