| anujagarwal464 | hi all | 08:45 |
|---|---|---|
| anujagarwal464 | i'm really interested in this gsoc project "Build a better test suite for Ledger-CLI." | 08:45 |
| anujagarwal464 | can somebody help me getting started | 08:46 |
| anujagarwal464 | i know C++ with STL and basics of unit testing | 08:46 |
| anujagarwal464 | anybody out there? | 08:48 |

| sodso | hi all | 14:47 |
| sodso | anyone onl9? | 14:48 |
| sodso | im new here and wanna contribute in npo-acct | 14:48 |
| sodso | plz help me getting started | 14:48 |
| bkuhn | sodso: I'm in the middle of something right now, so I probably can't spend much time right now.... but maybe in about two hours I'm available to chat more. | 14:50 |
| bkuhn | In the meantime, feel free to take a look at the wiki. | 14:50 |
| bkuhn | As is probably obvious, the project is just getting started. | 14:50 |

| lizhidong | hi | 18:20 |
| lizhidong | i am interested in this project and want to get more detail about it | 18:21 |
| lizhidong | anyone can give me some help? | 18:21 |
| bkuhn | lizhidong: Have you taken a look at the Wiki? | 18:22 |
| bkuhn | I'm happy to answer questions about it, of course. | 18:22 |
| lizhidong | yes,i have been check the idea list | 18:23 |
| lizhidong | it said there are only four task to chosen,right? | 18:23 |
| bkuhn | lizhidong: If you have questions about it, I'm happy to answer them. | 18:23 |
| bkuhn | lizhidong: Yes, we only have two mentors this year, so we don't have a large list. We're small compared to many projects in GSoC. | 18:24 |
| lizhidong | " we'll be selecting just one student, but we've provided four project choices. We need all of these items below done anyway" | 18:24 |
| lizhidong | is that mean the student need to done all four task? | 18:25 |
| bkuhn | lizhidong: No, we'd expect a student to pick one of the four tasks. I'll edit to make that clearer. | 18:25 |
| lizhidong | my major is computer science but this year just is my first year | 18:28 |
| lizhidong | right now, i just learned some basic of java,c,sql and assembly | 18:28 |
| bkuhn | lizhidong: what interested you in this project to come by? What struck you interesting about it among all the ones available? | 18:30 |
| lizhidong | but my minor is accounting and i think my understanding about it is prtty good. | 18:30 |
| bkuhn | Oh, if you are interested in computer science and accounting both, this may be a good project for you. | 18:31 |
| bkuhn | I encourage you to apply. | 18:32 |
| bkuhn | lizhidong: the conversion of ledger-cli to fixed point arithmetic might be a good project to target your application for. It's probably a simple enough project that a first year CS student could do it.... I should note that we cannot guarantee anyone's acceptance; there will surely be a lot of applications. | 18:33 |
| bkuhn | And thanks for your feedback to make it clearer that it's a choice of projects. | 18:33 |
| lizhidong | also, i downloaded the whindows version of ledger-cli,but there some problem,the application just open and close in the nearly same moment | 18:37 |
| lizhidong | if the task 2 (Convert Ledger-CLI to use fixed-point arithmetic) might be the good choise for me, can u give me some mroe information abour it | 18:43 |
| bkuhn | lizhidong: what do you want to know? (BTW, it's going to be a lot easier for you to do the work on a Linux-based system than Windows) | 19:10 |
| *** jelmer has quit IRC | 19:16 | |
| *** garrison has joined #npoacct | 19:21 | |
| lizhidong | like what is the language needed for this task | 19:23 |
| *** jelmer has joined #npoacct | 19:23 | |
| bkuhn | lizhidong: Ledger CLI is in C++. | 19:27 |
| lizhidong | and is the fixed-point arithmetic just mean inteager? it need to be change to fixed-point arithmetic but still able to represent and calculate the decimals,right? | 19:31 |
| bkuhn | lizhidong: Yes, you should probably do some research on what fixed-point arithmetic vs. floating point is and why it matters for accounting applications before applying. | 19:34 |
| lizhidong | ok, i get it, and i will. thanks for your time | 19:37 |
