<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hello Devs, </div>I thank you all for giving me this opportunity, I will ensure that the devs and mentors never question their judgement in selecting me. </div>On to the list of Do's: Start looking at the code (and even start hacking it if that helps): <ul><li>The development of this task is cut into two unrelated chunks (according to my understanding so far), one about implementing the "Format as Table" functionality (exactly) as available in excel. Another about implementing the new structured reference syntax used by Excel in dealing with Tables.</li> <li>I am of the opinion of completing the "Format as Table" task first, in my earlier interactions I had received good insights on the style sheets in LO Calc by Eike, I am currently tracing the control flow there.</li> <li>However I welcome suggestions on which task to complete first. </li></ul>Discuss with your mentors about the steps of your project <ul><li>I think I haven’t had an at-length discussion on this with my mentor Kohei yet. I will catch up on that </li></ul>Get to know the persons and sub-projects you'll need to interact with. <ul><li>Yes, this is very important. </li></ul>Get git access: see <a href="https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/NewAccount" target="_blank">this wiki page</a> <ul><li>Have an OpenID and have pushed a patch through gerrit. I have git set up on my system and I am toying with LO all the time. I think the direct commit access bit in that link wasn't meant for us students right? </li></ul>Create a feature branch for your project <ul><li>Yup, this one is coming up.</li></ul>What elseI am so excited and psyched to be a part of this year's soc. This thread is where I will keep everyone updated with minimum bi-weekly updates (which is the frequency I have set for myself). See my <a href="http://akshe.wordpress.com/">blog</a>, which will document the daily efforts. She1991 </div>
