Thanks Manish, it's going well in your project too.


Please follow these suggestions (valid for anyone else reading this list):

- whenever you change code, ensure you update docs as well (see Ajay's latest review)
- whenever you add new features, changes, bugfixes, write tests that fail without your fixes/changes, this gives us the highest probability tests will catch inadvertent mistakes (from yourself, me or anybody else) which may break the functionality you are adding/fixing inadvertently

Please these suggestions above must become automatic without the need of us reminding every student.

Best regards
Fed

Hi,

- Doubts/Questions:-
  - Can I first work on the openwisp-network-topology module, and then move to openwisp-users module?

Users module will be difficult and would require time, pushing the difficult work for the end can be a risk, so
I would not recommend the same.
What do you think about the risk?


Best,
Ajay Tripathi
