Hi everyone,

Firstly, thanks to all Mentors and Sumana for accepting my GSOC proposal. It has been a pleasure working with the Wikimedia and SMW community so far for me and I look forward to an awesome summer.

Secondly, Markus and I have started working on the project. We have made some priority assignments to our goals and as per that we will be making some changes to the Database access code(make it cleaner) first and than look into other performance degradation issues. While we do the first part feedback/ideas/suggestions on performance degradation issues with SMW are most welcomed. Most of the ideas we discussed has been documented at SQLStore_Update http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SQLStore_Update.

I am also maintaining a blog http://greenswm.wordpress.com specifically for this project; I write most of my activities there. Comments/feedback are most welcomed on my blog http://greenswm.wordpress.com/ or on the project talk-page Nischayn22/Gsochttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Nischayn22/Gsoc

Thanks
