Midterm evaluations for GSoC are coming up. All students and mentors must submit their evaluation on Melange after 26th June and before 3rd July 2015. Please note that only mentor needs to evaluate each student, not both.
If you have any concerns regarding your project/student which you do not wish to discuss on Phabricator, feel free to reach out to me or Quim directly.
Please complete the following in order to evaluate your studJoint N&N assessment:
[] Mid-term goals as outlined in the project timeline are complete: NO. But important unplanned achievements were completed, especially 8583f5b043bedeeb251ea8f6425d4cf95ba01dd3 .
[x] MVP is completed and hosted on Labs/elsewhere (some functionality exists and can be used, though not all that was planned; some unplanned improvements to existing functionality were made)
[x] Weekly reports are up-to-date and complete (mostly; T100822)
[x] The student is in regular touch with mentors (on gerrit and #mediawiki-i18n; no regular meeting was set up [yet])
Additional comments: While the mentors were less available than usual in this period due to travels and external commitments, significant progress was made independently studying ElasticSearch features, which proved productive to (make substantial progress to) fix certain outstanding performance issues in Translate/ttmserver. This should also pay back in the second phase, making progress faster on certain hairy issues in search features integration.
Additional comments:The project still lacks a sustainable testing plan, in particular: Nemo was not yet able to set up an own testing environment to test and review the patches; Phoenix is not currently testing a realistic user experience (e.g. English interface language was used so far); multiple patched are worked on at the same time, which is good, but makes it hard to advertise http://translation-search.wmflabs.org/ for casual testing by end users (for sure none happened so far, or no feedback was seen).
Evaluation: **Pass/Fail**.
