+#+title:         Status Report for Week #8

+Week #8 was all about code review and meeting with my mentors, not
+that we met a whole lot, but the few huddles were about code review
+and future tasks. I met with Franck, he tested the few tests that I
+work with. Found an error, and quickly fixed with a single string.
+After that I added to [[https://github.com/gnusosa/Dancer/commit/50e3c883709f60a14b21311e4d0c027428262dde][a single commit]]. That did the fix. The
+conversation moved on to future tasks. As of first feature, I will not
+add more routes to =MyApp.pm= that is scaffolded with =script/dancer=.
+This will only add more lines for the user to delete, and make more
+tedious starting to work on writing more code. After all that's why
+there is a lot of documentation in [[http://search.cpan.org/dist/Dancer/lib/Dancer/Cookbook.pod][=Dancer::Cookbook=]] and others. I
+would basically end-up reinventing the wheel. We don't want that.
+
+From that conversation, Franck established that we should add a better
+verbose output of the module. We are moving to a better format by
+using =Dancer::Logger::Abstract= and formatted to a better output.
+
+You can read the whole conversation at this [[https://gist.github.com/1095775][gist]].
+
+*** What I worked on Week #8
+I worked on rebasing my current [[https://github.com/gnusosa/Dancer/tree/devel][devel branch]] from my [[https://github.com/gnusosa/Dancer][Dancer repo]] to
+the [[https://github.com/sukria/Dancer][current devel repo in sukrias Dancer repo]] at github. At which I
+failed to rebase. But this was due to the fact that I kept writing
+code without pulling from the base branch in Dancer's github repo. But
+this would be quite clear to be fixed in time, since =Dancer::Script=
+was written without anything recently added to the new releases nor
+the test file for this.
+
+For that week, my work was also dedicated to set the format for
+=Dancer::Logger::Abstract=. I went with "%L> %m" for the format in
+which, I couldn't find anything new, but just commit without thinking
+about it. I will rewrite this, based on my current work for
+=Dancer::Logger=.
+
+So more of the work on writing code, it was more of planning what was
+going to happen in week #9. After all the schedule marked for us to
+prepare for the midterm reports and work on planning new
+features/changes or fixes. Basically, that's what I did when I met
+with my mentors.
+
+I did run =perltidy= for my current repo that was not correctly
+formatted. But as Franck noted, my current branch =refactoring/script=
+still had =.perltidyrc= which was a huge help for the actual
+re-formatting of each file.
+
+Franck, added a new task for the week #9, which is move
+=Dancer::Script= to use =Dancer::Object=. A module which will make
+more elegant our =$self= calls. For example, moving from doing
+=$self->{appname}= you could do =$self->appname= with that module.
+Which is totally more elegant.
+
+*** What's next?
+For week #9, the following are the key points:
+
+- Move to =Dancer::Object=.
+- Write the documentation for the module.
+- Rebase up-to-date and test.
+- Re-format everything with =perltidy=.
+
+I can't wait to start writing the documentation, and how it will shape
+off is what I'm more excited about. There isn't going to be much
+content, but this will be new to me, since somebody will finally
+critique my content.
+
+Now that the midterm evaluations are over, I'm more calm and ready to
+work. I can say that it was a heck of nervous feelings to me. I've
+never felt so competent at my work, but then again a lot of people
+that I mention in this [[http://gnusosa.net/gsoc/2011/07/20/midterm-evaluations.html][post]], are the ones that helped me pass through
+this last weeks rumble.
+
+Congratulations to every mentor and student that pass their midterms
+successfully.
