[pgrouting-dev] Community Bonding Report - Improving Parameters and Standardizing Results in pgr_withPointsDD Function for pgRouting

Hello everyone,

This is my report for the Community Bonding Period, detailing the tasks I completed during this time.

*Community Bonding Report (May 4 - May 28) *

I accomplished the following tasks during the Community Bonding Period:

  • Introduced myself and my project in the soc mailing list [1] as well as the pgrouting-dev mailing list [2] and requested feedback or suggestions on the project.
  • Added the links to the wiki page and the public repository in the OSGeo Accepted Students’ wiki page [3].

  • Created my GSoC project wiki page in the pgrouting repository, where I will be regularly updating the weekly reports [4].

  • Studied Google’s GSoC students guide and the OSGeo’s specific instructions.

  • Studied the relevant developer manuals and materials related to pgRouting.

  • Met with the mentors and the core developer of pgRouting, to discuss the final name of the function in this project [5], some possible additional works.

  • Got familiar with the pgRouting’s development style, documentation, coding and testing standards, workflow, under the guidance of mentors.

  • Built pgRouting locally, tested it using the sample queries, and set up the development environment in preparation for coding.

*What did I plan to do the next week? *

  • Try to get a deeper understand of the original code and identify where the modifications will happen.
  • Create a basic skeleton for C, C++, SQL code, and for documentation and tests.

*Am I blocked on anything? *

  • No, currently I don’t have any blocking issue.

The repository can be found in [6]

I would appreciate any feedback, comments, or suggestions you may have.

Best regards
Yige Huang
