== Summary of Google Summer of Code Project Proposal==
I’m applying for the ‘Backend Connectors for Ensemble’ Thunderbird address book extension project for Mozilla.
In regards to work on the project I’ve already done, I’ve done some initial research on the LDAP protocol, to better understand the context to which such an implementation might involve. Furthermore, I’ve taken a look at the current codebase found on the Github repo, and from it I’ve forked and contributed a commit that allows the build shell script to be run on a OSX based system (my preferred development platform).
== Planned Schedule of Deliverables==
<b>June 17th: </b> Coding period begins.<br><b>June 17th-(exact date TBD) June 21th: </b> Initial Research (time split between GSoC & finishing other summer course commitment overlap).<br><b>June 22nd-July 6th: </b> Continue initial research and begin project planning, develop specific project structures and tasks.<br><b>July 6th-20th: </b> Begin implementation tasks, initial code snippets and groundwork.<br><b>July 20th-August 10th: </b> Solidify code implementations and begin to see end quality code content.<br><b>August 10th-August 30th: </b> Project tasks should be finalizing content, testing, serious project completion submissions.<br><b>August 30th-September 16th: </b> Buffer period before ‘pencils down’ timeline for any scheduling extensions. <br><b>September 16th-September 27th: </b> ‘Post-pencils down’ period. I would assume this time would be filled with submissions and other non-programming requirements.<br>
