Hi,
I am Praveen Singh, a final Year Computer Science Graduate student at JIIT, India. I wish to apply for GSoC 2013 and I am thinking about jQuery.ime extensions for Firefox and Chrome as a project for the same. What I understood about the jQuery.ime project after going through its Github repository https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.ime is :
- It provides multilingual input support for the editable fields on a page. - Rules and keyboard mappings for different languages are defined in different js files for corresponding languages.
Does the project simply aims at packaging the source files into an extension ?
If so, doesn't that sounds a pretty small project for the complete GSoC timeline ? (Your thoughts ?)
Or is it the fact that we need to develop two different extensions (for firefox and chrome), that makes it a good enough project for GSoC ?
Enlighten me if I am not clear with the objectives of the project.
Thanks, Praveen Singh

Hello Praveen,
Thank you for your interest in this project. I am assuming you have already read about the project requirements[1] and also gone through the source files[2]. Making the extensions is one part of the project. The primary aim is to integrate it to run as a plugin from within the user's browser.
I'd suggest that you start by evaluating the current features provided by jQuery.ime. We'll be looking forward to your project proposal. :)
All the best.
regards Runa

Yes Runa I have read the project requirements thoroughly and also had some overview of the source files.

Yes certainly. I had a discussion with Santhosh Thottingal today and I have identified the following tasks/requirements :
- On demand loading of languages - Some user preferences/options (Your thoughts ?) - Getting the extension reviewed and published - Documentation - Long term maintainance - Mechanism to update extension with minimum effort
Please let me know if I am missing any points. Any kind of suggestions and feedback are welcome.
