gsoc-typo3In this summer, I got select for Google summer of code 2010 program. I had a experience with GSoC program 2008, working with Coppermine-gallery project. Coppermine-gallery project is my first contribution for a open source project. That project gave me a good opportunity to work with a large open source community and identify other members in the world.

Again, I will working with TYPO3 organization project in this year with my busy schedule. Anyway I am so happy at this time, because of I have to spend my best effort to this project. TYPO3 is a free, feature rich, Content Management Framework built with PHP. As a web developer I am so interesting with PHP, jQuery and RoR. TYPO3 is built with PHP and it use EXT JS as main Javascript library.

Basically, my project is “Enhancing usability of the next Generation List Module” in TYPO3 CMS. Through this project, I hope to integrate AJAX functionalities (using EXT JS library) into the next Generation List Module of the TYPO3 Backend. This project aims to enhance the user experience, accessibility, performance improvement in the system’s functionalities.

TYPO3 community’s members are giving good support to me and I am luck to say, there are two mentors assigned for my project. My core mentor is Thomas Hempel and Tobias Liebig also provide good support to continue my project.

This is my full proposal of TYPO3 project: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AbEzQPPZTDD0ZGZueG5nZjNfMzJ2NzljMnZmNQ&hl=en
