Hey Angie, I don't think that I'm qualified to be a primary mentor, but I'd certainly be happy to help offer advice and find solutions to problems at least for a little while. I am pretty fluent in file handling, and reasonable with at least the PHP side of XML. If that sounds OK with you please let me know. Best, Kyle Cunningham Angela Byron wrote:
Ken Rickard needs to step down for a bit and take care of some personal stuff that came up suddenly.
Dan DeGeest is on as backup mentor, but we really need someone to step in and take over as primary mentor while Ken takes care of some stuff.
The project is Document Import API - http://drupal.org/project/docapi. The idea is to be able to import files from a variety of office programs such as OOo, Word, and Excel.
The student is Christopher Bradford, who was a SoC student last year, so knows Drupal, but needs help with hammering out the various interactions.
Some design documentation has already been created at http://groups.drupal.org/files/DocImport_Process2.png to give you an idea.
We basically need someone fluent in file handling, XML formats, and that sort of thing.
Any takers?
