A Technical Report of my GSoC Status/Progress

This is a technical write up of my current status on Google Summer of Code.
I figured it would make sense to start by comparing their timeline to mine, and then comparing where I'm at to both.
Google's timeline: http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/faqs#timeline

My timline: (hopefully this is viewable to the public) http://socghop.appspot.com/student_proposal/show/google/gsoc2009/dhoss/t123871990398

Where I currently am (dump of my "done list"):
List of what I've done on Catalyst::Helper thus far:

6-03-2009
1. removed template code and hex data for images and put them into a directory
structure reflecting a Catalyst application's set up
2. Written a test to check to make sure the original C::H and new C::H code
create the exact same application, so we know nothing was broken.
3.  Implemented File::ShareDir to make use of a share/ directory in a distribution
for template files and images, etc.
4. working on a test script to test how deprecated methods are invoked, 2/3 working
5. implemented methods for new API and old deprecated methods.  1 for pulling
File::ShareDir data out of our share/ directory, and another for backwards compatibility,
pulling data out of the __DATA__ section.
6. Drafted an RFC for more comments on progression of C::H API
7. Also using added Path::Class for file reading
as of 6-9-09

         - added File::ShareDir capabilities
         - added Path::Class::Dir and Path::Class:File for ease of F::ShareDir
           file manip
         - modified the following methods:
         --  _mk_appclass    - sends the new filename to be rendered
         --  _mk_rootclass   - ''
         --  _mk_makefile    - ''
         --  _mk_config      - ''
         --  _mk_readme      - ''
         --  _mk_changes     - ''
         --  _mk_apptest     - ''
         --  _mk_cgi         - ''
         --  _mk_fastcgi     - ''
         --  _mk_server      - ''
         --  _mk_test        - ''
         --  _mk_create      - ''
         --  _mk_compclass   - ''
         --  _mk_comptestsub - ''
         --  _mk_images      - ''
         --  _mk_images      - ''
         --  _mk_favicon     - ''
         --  render_file     - this now calls render_file_contents to DTRT
         - new methods:
         -- get_sharedir_file    - this grabs a file out of share/ dir
         -- render_sharedir_file - this renders our sharedir file properly, using render_file_contents

tests written for:
render_file_contents
render_sharedir_file
checking to see if generated app's tests pass (t/generated_app.t)
fixed paths in Helper.pm so they're windows friendly. need to do so in tests.
moosified server script
added test to make sure server script works
created branch to Moosify helper API

From what I can see, aside from some clean up and paperwork for Google, I'm doing okay.  Most of the yak shaving is complete, and the API is shaping up quiet well.  We're Moosificating the scripts (create, server, etc) to keep the busy work in the API and out of the scripts.  It wasn't originally in the plan, but it came up as something that would be pretty beneficial.  Less brain work  == good.  Nothing much to be unexpected from here on out, unless something goes wrong.
