Re: Starting to contribute.

Hi,

My original plan was to store the todo items on the mugshot server.  After poking around for a bit I found that I would probably have to make some server updates (adding classes to support the new resources).  I also appears that the intention is to use other services for this sort of thing.  So I went and I tried to see if Google could provide anything, and they don't directly (I *could* reserve a google doc or some such thing and use it to store the todo information, but its a bit of a hack).  So now I am stuck without a place to store the data.

So, should I go back to my original idea and make server classes to support a todo list or is there some other service out there that I should use for storage.

Advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Govind.

Hi Again,

I have a build and a test environment going, now I want to start contributing.  I figured I would start with a way to keep a to-do list.  Then work on import, export from Tomboy (since that was mentioned in the Wiki).  After that, maybe I could work on OpenID support, since thats related to the work I do at work.

First things first.  I have been reading the "A new data model for Mugshot" article and I think I get whats going on, at least well enough to start writing a plug-in (extension, stack, I'm not sure what term you use).  But I didn't see any documentation on how to create a plug-in and install it.  I will also need to add classes/resources, and I am not sure if a server change would be needed or not.  I would expect you could do it by API.  Can someone point me in the right direction here?

Thanks,
Govind.
