RE: Better profile support - himan_kash - 2018-03-27 @Razze @jjd-uk sir, please reply to my proposal sir RE: Better profile support - jjd-uk - 2018-03-27 Hi Himan, I'm not one of the GSOC mentors so not involved in reviewing the proposals, just taking a interest in what people want to do since I'm a Team member. However just to make you aware, there was a previous GSOC project accepted to provide better profile support however the student had to drop out very early on due to personal issues arising preventing any work on it being done, so I don't believe any coding got underway but in case there's anything useful in the discussions regarding ideas for what might be required see: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=222006 https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=220295 RE: Better profile support - himan_kash - 2018-03-27 i have gone through the thread of the previous guy who dropped out...i have only 1 hour remaining before deadline...As i have mentioned in my draft proposal,that i am quiet efficient with c and c++ and database an am willing to work with kodi..please remind me if i am missing something in my draft proposal...also what should i do next..should i submit my proposal RE: Better profile support - jjd-uk - 2018-03-27 Sorry but I'm not able to help as only GSOC mentors have access to the Google portal that proposals are submitted to. I guess if you don't get a response from Razze or one of the other mentors soon then you should probably submit to make sure you meet the deadline. |
