Hi, A small update on the progress of the project GreenSMW (optimization of Semantic Mediawiki).
I have been working in baby steps all the time such that SMW is always in a working condition, most of my commits have been on the storerewrite branch and now to be merged with branch master; Its planned to be into the next release of SMW. Here's a list of things I have worked on:
1. Implemented hash check before updating db - this significantly reduces the "page write" times on a SMW wiki. 2. Fixed table properties - enables separate tables for highly used properties and thus reduces db access time. 3. Refractored parts of SQLStore - this made the code a lot cleaner and maintainable for further tasks 4. DB sharding - using separate tables for properties of different tables (not using multiple servers). 5. UnitTests - tests for SMW's core functionality. 6. Redefined tables for Booleans (reduced memory usage) and String type (removed size limits).
Experiences: Having two mentors has been a plus point for me; both Jeroen and Markus have been very helpful. And though some tasks of the project took more time than I had anticipated before, with new dependencies getting identified I could make up for them by writing UnitTests for SMW (Jeroen had proposed this as another potential GSoC proposal). I also write tests whenever I am stuck waiting for a code review.
Hi,
Sorry for the late answer but I was not much on the internet during the weekend (because I went to New York prior to going to DC for Wikimania). So I'm now at the Wikimania hackathon where I can talk with Niklas, my mentor.
I did all what I scheduled to do before the mid-term evaluation: the commits for the core parts (language names cache; all English language names) are in Gerrit, though the language names cache is something that I need to discuss with Niklas. I also did a few commits related to language support: making e.g. DateFormatter and dates in sortable tables work in the page content language instead of the site language. As for the Incubator extension, the commit for the first steps special page is also in Gerrit, and I'm now working on the info page parser function.
I'm not having any problems, though I should have communicated at regularly scheduled times with my mentor, which I will do from now on. I did have exams in the first part of the google summer, so now in the second part I will have more time available for the project.
Regards Robin (SPQRobin)

Hello everyone,
This is more of a weekly update from my side regarding the project that I have been working on. As of now everything has been going on as planned, starting from tomorrow I will be working on writing custom tags (parser tags) for my extension. It would take my about a couple of weeks to finally be ready with my custom tags stuff. After that there would be only couple of things ,modification of user pages and development of account registration form, left as per my timeline before the merging and testing period. So since I would have some time left before the GSoC term ends I would continue with some of the things that I have put in "If time permits section". I have pushed all of my code up into gerrit for review, and here is the link to look for all the changesets (or patches) - [1]. Already most of my code in gerrit has got some comments, so would be working on making those changes along with the development work that I mentioned above in the upcoming weeks. Some links: - [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:open+ConventionExtension,n,z - road map http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Chughakshay16/GSOCProposal(2012)#Official... - updates http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Chughakshay16/GSOCProposal(2012)#Project_...

I am sorry for being late, I had been posting updates of my project on my blog, but it ran onto some problem and I could not get the time to fix it. Alas, it has been fixed and you can track the update of the progress there [1].
My project included integration of Flickr and Geolocation in the extension Upload Wizard. As for the integration of the Flickr, as of now the user can upload a single image from Flickr, which would get uploaded along with its License fethed from Flickr. The user can also provide the URL of a Flickr Photoset, and all the images in the photoset that have a valid license would be shown to the user. The user can then select the images to be uploaded, and the largest possible size of the image ( Flickr only provides original images for pro users ) would be uploaded. Also, uploads from Flickr as well as the local machine can be done in a single batch. The code for this is available under the 'flickr' branch of Upload Wizard project [2]
For the second part of my project, I have provided a Map interface in the "Details" step of the wizard, where the location of the image ( if provided in the metadata ) would be marked on the map. The user can also select a location on the map ( for images which do not have the latitude and longitude in the metadata ), which would be uploaded with the correct Geolocation template. I have used Open Street Maps with Leaflet for this purpose. Although this work was supposed to be done after my mid-term, but I had started off with it in the Wikimedia Berlin Hackathon, and then carried it forward after returning. The current code right now has a lot of issues and I would be resolving them in the next few weeks. The code for this is available under the 'geo' branch on Upload Wizard project [3]
