Week 1 (23nd April - 29th April)


  • Created Project progress report page (this page) as a sub-page of my profile page to keep track of my work during the Summer of Code and a brief log of this report in blog spot here: project progress blog spot
  • Created a phabricator conference to enable a synchronized discussion about the project progress with my mentors and notify them with recent updates on the project's progress and any other updates.
  • Held meetings with some of my mentors individually, having their weekly schedules for code review, guidance etc... This enabled me to get their available times, taking into consideration time zones.
  • Extending Wikipedia IFTTT to support RSS feeds. Worked on the Article revisions and User revision feeds in addition to the Article of the Day, Word of the Day and New article feeds I already worked on. Commit on GitHub is here: Commit and the pull request for the work here: PR3.
  • Created a Wikimedia Tool Labs account and submitted to the mentor (Stephen) so that he could integrate me to the dev edition of the Wikipedia IFTTT application on Tool labs. This will enable me to be running Database Access Layer (DAL) tests that is concerned with database driven feeds.
  • Requested for access to be added to a group on tools lab so that my account can be given rights under a particular project. In this case, testing on Wikipedia IFTTT and development of Wikidata IFTTT during developing the project.
  • Tool Lab account request was processed and approved by Tim Landscheidt and at this point, it is just left for me to have access to the IFTTT dev project on tools lab for testing.
  • Stephen (mentor) added me to Tool Labs on the IFTTT-Dev project so that I can perform testing of the RSS feeds work that I have done. I successfully logged into Tool Labs after adding my SSH key to my tool labs profile. Ran DAL (Database Access Layer) tests for feeds that needed DAL for its functioning and all where successful.
