* Why do you want to participate in the Google Summer of Code? What do you hope to gain by doing so?
*: I am doing competitive coding and college stuffs since last 2.5 years and I haven't got much exposure to open source world.
*: I think Google Summer of Code is a great opportunity for me to jumpstart my experience with the open source community. 
*: I hope to gain knowledge and experience working in a professional environment while meeting new people in the process. 
** Please also describe your previous experience with the GSoC, if any.
**: This is first time I am going for GSoC.
* Why are you choosing Octave?
*: When last year I started machine learning,I got in touch with Octave.It was superb experience.So I thought to do something for it.
*: Octave is the open source alternative for MATLAB, and I like working with Octave. 
*: Also, Octave has a great community of developers. They are welcoming and motivating.

== F: Feeling fine ==
* Please describe (in short) your experience with the following tools:
** IRC and mailing lists
**: I really prefer IRC as a mode of communication.I use them frequently and take help from there if I face any problems.
**: My registered IRC nick is hodor123456.I use mailing list no less than IRC.There is an account in nabble,Dildar Sk
		[http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=372708]

** Mercurial or other source code management systems
**: I am very comfortable using git. I have started learning Mercurial and do understand the basics of generating a patch in Octave.
** Mediawiki or other wiki software
**: I started using Mediawiki when I started writing this application. I am comfortable contributing to wiki pages.
** make, gcc, gdb or other development tools
**: I am very comfortable in using make tool, gcc, and gdb. Furthermore, I am always pumped up in learning new tools if my project demands for it (or even just out of curiosity).
* What will make you actively stay in our community after this GSoC is over?
*: I see lots of places where I can help.I will keep active in #octave IRC channel to help people.
*: And certainly I will be always upto dated with mailing lists and bug tracker.
*:There I will also implement missing functions.

== O: Only out of interest ==
* Did you ever hear about Octave before?
*: Yes, I have heard of GNU Octave before. 
** If so, when and where? How far have you been involved already?
**: I started using Octave for my online Machine Learning Course by Andrew Ng in Coursera.
* What was the first question concerning Octave you could not find an answer to rather quickly? 
*: Complete steps to build Octave from source. The reason for that is that there is not much in the Octave docs. 
*: It is overwhelming as there exists more than one wiki explaining similar steps in various ways. 
*: It might be better to update the Octave docs frequently with latest installation instructions. 
*: Here is what the octave docs show now: [https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/v4.0.1/Building-the-Development-Sources.html#Building-the-Development-Sources link]. 
*: Apart from this, the Octave manual has been very helpful with useful examples to understand concepts.

== P: Prerequisites ==
* Please state the operating system you work with.
*: Ubuntu 16.10 and Windows 8.1
** If you have access to more than one, please state them and the conditions under which you are granted this access.
**: I have complete access to both the operating systems. However, I prefer using Ubuntu for software development.
* Please estimate an average time per day you will be able to access
** an internet connection
**: 24X7
** a computer
**: 24X7
** a computer with your progressing work on
**: 24X7
* Please describe the degree to which you can install new software on computers you have access to.
*: I have complete root/administrator access.
*:If you are asking about how good I am at installing softwares,then,yes I have installed every softwares without a problem.

== S: Self-assessment ==
* Please describe how useful criticism looks from your point of view as committing student.
*: I think constructive criticism plays a vital role in developing a good product. 
*: I like receiving criticism because it means that my work matters to someone and I take that as motivation to make my work better.  
* How autonomous are you when developing:
*: While assessing myself I observed that I try to code first and then try to find bugs and remove the inefficiencies in my code. 
*:I am quite autonomous and can start work on my own.
	But if I get to know what should I do,where to start or a hints,I do work much smoother and quicker.
*: I think this methodology is what makes me learn more. I understand this might turn out to be a slow process, but I think this is what makes me more experienced.
*: Thomas Edison said, "'' I haven't failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. ''"
*: With that said, I will also absolutely make sure that I take regular weekly feedback from my mentors so that I don't end up in a wrong path.

== Y: Your task ==
* Did you select a task from our list of proposals and ideas?
*: Yes, I would like to work on the project: "Command line suggestion feature" [http://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#Command_line_suggestion_feature]
*: 
* Please provide a rough estimated timeline for your work on the task.
*: During Google Summer of Code, I would work 60 hours per week. This is my rough estimated timeline:

*: '''community bonding period '''(Before May 14):

*::i) I will try to refresh my idea of Octave's codebase first.Start to know the 
*::	other guys,developer and mentors.Will start to interacting with them.
*::ii) I will study readline library thoroughly.Will try to strengthen knowledge
*::	on GDB,make auto-tool.
*::iii) Will try to implement some missing functions which is
*::	not available in Octave but on MATLAB.
	
*: '''Phase 1 ''' (May14-june15)
	
*: ''' week 1 '''(May 14-21):
	
*::i) Will put all permanent symbols(Keywords,function name) in a .txt file.
*:: And other's directory based symbols will be put in a temporary .txt file.
*:: The temporary .txt will be changed as directory changes.
	
*::ii)Start implementing closest match of a incorrect keyword by Longest Common Subsequence,Dynamic Programming algorithm.
	
*: ''' Week 2 '''(May21-28):

*::i) Completion of LCS based closest keyword implementation.

*::ii) Testing previous implementations.
*::iii) Implementing closest match of a keyword by hash-mapping data structure.
*:: Testing previous implementations.
	
*: ''' Week 3 & 4 ''' (May 28-june 11)

*: '''week 3 '''(May 28-june 4):
	
*::i) Testing previous implementation.
*::ii) Creating a API which will allow user to choose anyone based closest.
	
*::iii)Start implementing trie based closest match of a keyword.

*: '''Week 4 '''(june 5-11):

*::i) Completion of Trie based nearest of a keyword implementation.
*::ii) Writing documentation.

*: ''' June 11-15 ''':
	'''Phase 1 evaluation.'''
	

*: ''' Phase 2 ''' (June 16-july 13)
*:: ''' Week 5 ''' (june 16-june22):
	
*:: Before this everything will have implemented for both GUI and CLI but this is only for GUI.
*:: Will implement a pop-up using QT to auto-complete.User will be able to interact with a pop
*:: up of a multiple choice,if he press double tab.
*:: I will implement if there is no auto-completion available it will show "No Completion Available"
	
*: ''' Week 6 ''' (June 22-29):

*:: A frequency based(No of times it's used) hash map will be implemented.
*:: This will be another parameter choosing the closest between multiple choice('acox' between 'acos' and 'acot').
*:: Different users will get difference suggestion based on this parameter.

*: ''' Week 7 ''' (June 30-july 6):
	
*:: frequency base hash map parameter will be used in all 3 implementations.
*:: Creating a API to select any of 3 mechanism according to user choice and requirement.

*: ''' Week 8 ''' (July 7-13):
	
*::i) Writing documentations.
*::ii)Writing tests.

*: ''' Phase 2 evaluation ''' (July 9-13)

*: ''' Final phase ''' (July 14-Aug 14)
	
*: ''' Week 9 '''(July 15-21):
*:: Implementing a pop-up based on QT which allow to choose number of suggestions in
*:: the pop-up.It will be either top-1,top-2,top-3,top-5.

*: ''' Week 10 ''' (July 22-29):
*::i) Checking if something is left and implementing that.
*::ii) Testing the pop-up.Testing other implementation.
*::iii) writing documentation.

*: ''' Week 11 ''' (July 30-Aug 6):
	
*:: Target:selecting default implementation.
*:: Comparing the efficiency of Trie,Hash and LCS based.
*:: Test will be made on different sizes same data.

*::i) Testing if there is any build issue.
*::ii) Writing documentations.
*::iii) Checking if there need something to implement.
	
*::iv) ''' Final submission of work product.'''




*: ''' This is a very rough timeline. The exact steps will become clearer when I do some more discussion with the mentors.'''
