Aniessh's proposal is outlined on the LimeSurvey Wiki, and we ask the LimeSurvey user community to read it and make suggestions on the related forum thread here. It's important during this early design phase that ideas, comments and suggestions are made. They won't necessarily be incorporated into the initial feature implementation but the more input Aniessh receives from users the better informed his design decisions will be, and future improvements will be easier and faster to build. Aniessh is interested in knowing how you might use such a feature, what sort of functionalities you'd like to see in it, really anything that can help him make the design more usable. During the next month Aniessh will be able to talk the issues out and get an understanding of the LimeSurvey community's needs. He will start serious coding in early to mid June.  

Diogo Goncalves is our third student to feature in our series on LimeSurvey's Google Summer of Code activity for 2011. Diogo is a student in the Faculty of Science at the University of Lisbon, Informatics Engineering in Portugal and impressed with his proposal to port the LimeSurvey front-end to CodeIgniter. We have selected two projects to port LimeSurvey to the CodeIgniter framework this year and Diogo will be working as part of a team with Shubham Sachdeva to port the major functionality of LimeSurvey to this rapid development framework. The port is a major and significant step forward for LimeSurvey since it will allow for greater flexibility and expansion of LimeSurvey in the future. Once completed expect rapid and dramatic improvements and changes to LimeSurvey as developers take advantage of a simplified and more consistent coding backend. If you're interested in this project visit the proposal page, and the make any comments or suggestions in the proposal forum.

We are pleased to introduce you to Shubham Sachdeva in our fourth and final article on LimeSurvey's Google Summer of Code projects for 2011. Shubham studies at the University School of Information Technology, GGSIPU, Delhi and proposed porting the LimeSurvey back-end to CodeIgniter. He's been active in the LimeSurvey community for some time and has participated in the development team with a number of different issues.
