Hi rishav_a2z

@akshaaatt: bhaiya, i added the proposal on community. Can you please review it once?

Hello bhaiya

I haven’t gone through the proposal exactly but I see that for the weeks breakup, you are including the bonding period etc as wel which is wrong

Week 1 starts when the coding period starts

Okk. I will change it now.

And if I’m not wrong then you’ll only get 12 weeks to complete the project

Hn so i am starting from bonding thats why it become 16

Potential candidates should keep 1 week for preparing their final blog submissions

Keep the week breakup only for 12 weeks

Okk i will change it

uh rishav_a2z

Also jasje, you seem to have mentioned 16 weeks as well

What’s the logic?

Are you assuming that the project you are proposing will be extended?

yeah lil bit

I think i can shove it down to 15

lucifer: can you please confirm the rules regarding this stuff? Is extension something which is decided during the proposal submission or it is something which we decide during the end of the program?

but 15 weeks would be something i would like

I had alot of the stuff cut down but i remembered view-model tests and the amount of apis used

We can’t decide the rules right jasje. I’ve only seen proposal mentioning work for 12 weeks. Spillovers are fine

We CAN extend the project if need be

cut it down to 12 then?

Let’s wait for lucifer to confirm

Or else if we can find any relevant blogs from gsoc for the same

also i was lookin at rishavs proposal

I already have search option in mine

It'll go in the feed through tabination

Actually it was for search user and get their profile page. Not to follow their only

*them.

yeah we could link it later or make a new tab for itself

akshaaatt: yeah, extension can be pre-decided.

but since feed is so much dependent on people following each other

can i have that?

Ohh then it makes sense lucifer. Thansk for the confirmation.

you can also use the community bonding period fwiw and then do it without any extension.

That sounds nice

but yes its flexible. whatever works for the mentor and contributor.

Also rishav_a2z , the UI designs you have proposed are no way near to our designs I feel. We can’t have this submitted for gsoc I think otherwise it could be problematic

Okay. So i will add the ticket design only.

In the problem statement we need to add taste in explore page.

But it will be better if we add it in one section of profile

Also same for recently listen.

No rishav_a2z>

Because. Explore is to Explore new songs, people. So we can show recommended songs, simlar user

Explore only mentions YIM, Similar users, and Site wide Recent Listens

Listens History of the user, Taste, recommendations, playlists will be a part of profile

😅 my bad. I got confused. But can we interchange recent listen with recommendation?

I don't think we should be taking that decision. That's a big change

I get what you mean and it might make sense

Okay.

lucifer: if the extension is pre-defined, this means we can't extend after that right?

jasje: it can be extended at any point before midterms.

you mean mid evaluation?

yes

oh so 6 weeks out into the proj

alright thanks!

you probably don't want to rely on it though, plan your project for 12 weeks. if you need 16 weeks, use the community bonding period.

better to trim down the proposal to only whatever can fit in that duration.

if something unforseen comes up and you have to take a break off work, ask for an extension.

my 2 cents.

+1

i have my minors this month and my majors next month

alright ill trim it them

Also jasje while you are at it, can you please mention the months with the weeks? Week 1 (xyz - abc)

ill add days with it too

XD

what? no kiddin XD

I thought you meant Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri, Sun etc for every week lol

But if it's just the number of days, fine then

no no 13 july type

Ohh yeah I do want that

alright

jasje Always use the coverart archive logo as a placeholder for images

You used the MeB logo at one place recently

akshaaatt: I use CAA at places where there was no placeholder previously

but since previously it used MeB

noice

akshaaatt: trimmed it down to 14 weeks

go for 12?
