Arun,
Though what you describe might be desirable for some, it is quite different from the bindings translator. The goal of the python bindings translator is to provide a translator which is generic enough to achieve *some* tasks in a python script. The main use case is to implement hooks as python callbacks where users can implement the callback function in python. There is an old prototype of such a translator in the glusterfs codebase. Please have a look at what that was achieving. It would be mostly along those lines, but for the new translator API.Thanks,
Avati

Hi john,I think I have rough idea about the project now(A binding language translator for glusterfs). Let me present it to you. Pls correct mistakes. Also I have cc-ied the gluster-dev mailing address for suggestions.The project is to create a language binding translator for gluster. The translator is compiler that can covert the Gluster specific data formats and datas to a serialised format. This format generated at serverside is passed to the client. The client can use any programming language supported by our language translator. Using this language he can get data from the serialised data stream sent over the network from the server. This works like thrift or protobuf but specially made for gluster accomadate its specific needs.Isn't it right?On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 9:42 PM, arun scaria <arunscaria91@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Thanks, Arun.For questions about the application process, I'm happy to help. For questions about the technical scope of the project, ask Avati or AB (CC'd here).Would it make sense to schedule some time today to discuss? Let me know your schedule, and I can arrange something on IRC (or GTalk, if you prefer).My GTalk ID is johnmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxMy IRC nick is johnmarkThanks,JMYes, I have more questions. My nickname is scari. and I'll be in the IRC. See you there :)On Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 10:17 AM, John Mark Walker <johnmark@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Greetings,
Are you still interested in working on the language binding translator project for GlusterFS? (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2012#Implement_a_binding_translator_for_GlusterFS)
If so, please see this URL and follow the guide for Google Summer of Code students:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_Guide_students
It will tell you what you need to know to get started, including a step-by-step guide. Please follow the instructions - understand that there are 3 students who are applying for this project, and we can only accept one of you.
If you have specific questions about the GlusterFS project in question, feel free to ask us any questions.
Thanks, and good luck! We are here to help if you have specific questions.

Hello John,
Any number of students can apply for a project idea. Therefore first
ask them to submit a valid
proposal.(The method of submission and related info can be found at
the students' guide wiki[1])
Then the mentor/s for the idea can go through the submitted proposals
and give them scores based
on the proposal submitted. Then you can choose the best proposal you
think that will be completed
and would be the best solution among the submissions.
When selecting a student it is required put more weight on whether the
student will complete the project and
whether the student will continue working with Fedora after the gsoc.
I think those are critical questions we need
'yes' as the answer. If not how good the proposal is we need
considering rejecting them.
You can mark submission giving scores once the deadline is passed for
proposal submission. For now make sure
the students will submit their proposals as described.
Thanks for your support.
Happy Summer Coding !!
