Drop txtorcon project ideas

Meejah reports that the ideas are still relevant but that he doesn't have time to mentor this summer. --- getinvolved/en/volunteer.wml | 60 -------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 60 deletions(-)

Re-working txtorcon - to use the txaio library would allow users to choose between Twisted and - asyncio for the client code. - </p> - - <p> - This would involve fairly extensive refactoring to txtorcon, as it - currently makes heavy use of @inlineCallbacks which doesn't work with - txaio. A prospective student should be very familiar with event-based - programming in general, and be familiar with one of Twisted or asyncio. - See also: https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon/issues/135 - </p> - </li> - - <a id="txtorcon_use_pytest"></a> - <li> - <b>Convert txtorcon to py.test</b> - <br> - Language: <i>Python, Twisted</i> - <br> - Likely Mentors: <i>meejah</i> - <br><br> - <p> - Currently txtorcon uses the built-in "unittest" module, as well as - Twisted's Deferred-respecting extensions on top. However, meejah has - found py.test's "fixture" approach to be much more powerful in other - situations. - </p> - - <p> - This project would be to port at least part of txtorcon's test-suite to - use py.test style tests and fixtures and evaluate: are the tests easier - to read? are there fewer lines of code? If so, the rest of the suite - should be ported and txtorcon switched over to use py.test exclusively. - </p> - - <p> - As some of txtorcon's tests aren't very well-written, this would take a - prospective student who is very strong in unit-testing knowledge. As - txtorcon is event-based, familiarity with that style of programming - (preferrably with Twisted) is ideal. - See also: https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon/issues/136 - </p> - </li> - <a id="stegotorus"></a> <li> <b>Make Stegotorus deployment ready</b>
