[gentoo-soc] PMS test suite, weekly report #2

[Michał Górny]

Hello, GSoC-ers.

The 'PMS test suite' project is running a little ahead of schedule.
This week, I achieved to:

1) create the project homepage [1], as a subproject to the PMS project,
2) create the initial code structure (with the distutils build system),
3) establish a blog [2], with a category for the project [3],
4) create a simple project design diagram [4] and describe it [5],
5) sum up pros and cons of various possible test library formats [6] and
create examples for each of them [7].

Right now, I'm still waiting for the following:
1) my blog being added to the Planet [8],
2) more feedback on the design,
3) feedback on whether it would be appropriate to use the 2-clause BSD
license for the project.

My plan for the upcoming week is to:
1) create the initial library-handling code (finding, loading),
2) create the basic test case classes,
3) establish a simple ebuild generator using the above classes,
4) create a README for the project, minimal docs on the library format
and describe a little more reasoning on my design choices on the blog.

If no really negative feedback shows up until then, I will use
the Python test library format.
