Outreachy 2 weeks project progress

[khushi gautam]

Hi all,
I am currently working on the project "Sidebar deck for quick find". It's
been two weeks since I started my internship here, and I'd like to update
the community about my progress till now. My very first step was to create
a UI for QuickFind using Glade. Initially, I faced challenges operating
Glade on Windows. Fortunately, Heiko, my mentor, helped me by demonstrating
how Glade works on Linux. I promptly installed VirtualBox to run Glade on
Linux, and I was able to create the UI in a short amount of time.

Next, let's talk about the stage where I had to add the 'Find Deck' option
to the sidebar and its corresponding panel. This step took some time from
adding the panel and deck entry in sidebar.xcu file and SwPanelFactory to
achieve a successful build. During this task, Jim Raykowski, my mentor,
cooperated with me so effectively that by the end of the second week, I was
able to accomplish that goal. I appreciate Jim's assistance in making this
task a success.

Thank you!

Regards,

Khushi
