[Mono-dev] Google Summer of Code 2012 - Some questions

[Wojciech Gawroński]

Hi,

My name is Wojciech Gawroński and I'm a Polish Computer Science student from
Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice.
I'm interested in two categories ASP.NET and Web Stack improvements and I've
got some questions about details of these topics.

Can you provide more details and scope for:
- ASP.NET 4.5 Async Stack - In this task should be implemented whole
Async Stack? Do you have a minimum set of requirements for this task?
- FireBug add-on for viewing Mono ViewState etc. - As I understood,
Fiddler's like version and its features is a minimum version for this task?
- A Sweet HTML/Text Editor Module - What is the development stage of
this editor module? Does it involve refactoring or other internal
improvements, or only support for typography related features?

Thanks in advance for provided details and I look forward to your answer.

Yours sincerely,

Hello Wojciech,

Can you provide more details and scope for:
       - ASP.NET 4.5 Async Stack - In this task should be implemented whole

The details are here:

http://www.asp.net/vnext/overview/whitepapers/whats-new

We are not quite sure what this involves, but we know that the current synchronous pipeline would need to be rewritten to accomodate user code using "await".   Once user code in a page uses await, it means that the container code that runs it needs to use await.   And you can trace this all the way back up to HttpApplication and the Pipeline() method.

The Pipeline() method in HttpApplication uses a bit of a precursor to async, but it is only used for the pre and post hooks handlers, not for the page itself.   That one was executed synchronously.

My suggestion is to keep that intact, while we plug a new version that would be async ready.

Async Stack? Do you have a minimum set of requirements for this task?

Check that page, we can determine that only a handful of things can be done during the summer, and we can adjust the task to merely do a few things.

The spam bots are getting smarter, it seems :/
