I am a third year undergraduate student majoring in computer science at IIIT-Hyderabad. I am interested in participating in GSoC 2013 with Gentoo. I'd like to introduce myself and the project I'm interested in working on. I am new to Gentoo and have installed it only recently on my system. I have worked on GUI development using pygtk for ASCEND as a part of GSoC 2012. Please find my project proposal summary here[0] and a list of my contributions here[1]. I am interested in working on the "Accelerated security bug filing" project[2] listed in the ideas page. After having gone through the description provided, I understand that the project involves developing a Gentoo client application for filing security bugs to reduce the number of potential vulnerability windows. I would like to know more about the project and how I can go about it. Here are a couple of questions I have regarding the project: 1. Is the application supposed to be used for filing generic bugs or security-related bugs in specific? 2. What kind of interface should the application provide to the user in terms of the input fields? Is it similar to [3] (after logging in) ? 3. If not, how exactly are the bugs reported by the user through the application? Some use cases would be really helpful. 4. Are the reported bugs filed at bugs.gentoo.org? If yes, should the user be authenticated from within the application? 5. Are there are any simple bugs that you think I should try fixing? 6. What do you think of this as a project for GSoC'13(priority, duration, difficulty etc)? I have created a sample mockup[4] for the application's GUI. Please look into it and let me know if there is something wrong/missing. I have also installed pybugz on my system and have written a small GUI application[5] in pygtk that uses pybugz to search for gentoo-bugs based on a given keyword. Thank you for taking your time out to read this. Please let me know if you think there is something I should know about or improve upon.
