Dear Jakub,

I prepared a schedule for gsoc ,please take a look and suggest me in
case if you feel some tasks couldn't be completed with in indicated
time .

Week 1  understanding how the whole gitweb and related server side
scripts are implemented , their design philosophy , coding standards ,
documentation standards to maintain the best practise coding
practices.  Brainstorming sessions regarding which libraries to use on
specific scenarios by keeping many criteria’s in mind and creating an
abstract design on the additional features  that have to be added.
Week 2  Improving Javascript browser detection and incremental blame.
Week 3 Improving UI of adjusting timezone by deciding which library /
framework to use on UI.
Week 4 & 5 design and implementation of client side sorting of tables
and client side syntax highlighting of the blob view by handling how
git web splits the output into lines and providing line numbers.
Week 6  testing the code robustly on as many browsers as possible
(with their versions) and documenting the code neatly .
MidTerm Delivarables : Improving javascript browser detection,
incremental blame,ui of adjusting timezone .Adding client side sorting
of tables and client side syntax highlighting of blob view .
Week 7 & 8 Using deferrands or queues in the interactive blame to
avoid the editing of DOM which happens asynchronously to avoid
locking and automatic extending of clickable area for places where the
link is constrained to a single cell or of that type.
Week 9 & 10 & 11 design and implementation support for graphical
representation of history in log ,shortlog and history using Raphael
javascript library, adding UI to compare arbitrary commits in the page
using commitdiff view similar to MediaWiki page history view and
creating a side by side diff from unified diff in javascript so that
switching between unified diff and side by side diff could be handled
on client side.
Week 12  documentation , writing a detail report , testing
exhaustively and checking whether the written code follows the
characteristics .
Note: considerable amount of time will be spent each week
concentrating on design for adding a new feature since its design
greatly affects many things.

Thanks in advance.

yours sincerely,
chaitanya nalla.
