Dear Mr Maroulidis
As for your first question, the NCP Web Panel must be embedded in
Nextcloud as a native Nextcloud "App" in order for users to be able to
manage NCP from their Nextcloud UI. UI fixes are highly welcomed but
they are not supposed to take a lot of time as there are more important
stuff to be done.
As for your second question it would be nice if you could port
onlyoffice and collabora but this needs a lot of testing and it
eventually might be dropped of from the deliverables.
As for your third question, yes it is up to you to design the
architecture for a high availability option.
As for your fourth question, it is up to you to propose the most
efficient way you think it can be done, and you can make predefined
choices so that the user don't get confused with many configuration
options. As other configuration options already exist in ncp, they ask
from the user the minimum information and deal everything in the
developer's implementation.
Hope these help.
I am available for anything else you need
Best Regards

Dear Mr Sarantos,
I've a few questions about the specifics of the expected results.
Firstly, what's expected of the first result ("Develop: Nextcloud
Native NCP App (webpanel)"); would I need to develop a platform native
app using the, already existing, webapp, or, merely, fix the UI/UX of
the existing webapp and add functionality. Secondly, should I port
onlyoffice and collabora online to arm, as part of the project?
Also, I think that the "Design/Develop: high availability for large
installations" is vague; is it up to me to design the architecture to
achieve that task?
On the secondary task of having an easy way to self-host email, I
think that we could draw inspiration from othe existing self-host
email projects, such as Yunohost, etc. But this task specifically
cannot be a secondary task, because of the complexity of configuration
and maintenance required to run a mail server.
Awaiting your answers.
Kind regards,

Dear Mr Maroulidis
Feel free to include the most doable tasks that you will manage to
deal with in the coding time. Also feel free to replace/append or
change the implementation of any of the tasks with a more convenient
method. But keep in mind that we want most of the tasks listed to be
developed, so it wouldn't be wise to completely change the tasks.
The aim is to be able to do as much as possible with the most
efficient way.
It is highly recommended that you define the framework/platform that
you with use for the mobile app, as it is highly recommended to make
research about all the tasks in the proposal and determine the way
you are going to implement the tasks.
I want to make this clear. You are going to be rated by the proposal
and by how you are going to develop the tasks. Be open minded and
think outside of the box...
Get back to me if you need anything else...

Hello Mr Sarantos,
I understand your point. Is it necessary that my proposal include
all the main tasks of the project idea, or could I replace/append
other parts of NextcloudPi that I feel more comfortable to tackle?
Also, is it necessary to determine the framework/platform for the
mobile app on my final proposal? When I complete my draft I'll be
sure to notify you.

Hello Mr Maroulidis
I am going to analyze your questions straight away.
The |JAVA| language requirement is needed for the NCP Moblie App.
Actually you could find an alternative to Java, like developing the
mobile app in a mobile app framework (write HTML/CSS/JS and produce
mobile apps)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see in your emails that you are focusing to your bio and your
resume. Keep in mind that all mentors at GFOSS are more interested
in the way you are going to complete your goals and why your
proposal is better that others, or good as to it’s-self . We are
interested in your resume to the point we get to know you have the
coding skills, but we are not that interested that much as a
company that you apply a job would. So I would suggest that you do
write a short bio and a short text about your skills in the
proposal but do not focus a lot on this as it is a minor.
I hope I made things more clear. Feel free to contact me again in
regard anything you find to be blurry.
I’ve cc’ed the list and the other mentor, Stathis Iosifidis

Hello Mr Sarantos,
I've started writing a draft proposal for this project. I'm an
undergraduate studying Production and Mechanical Engineering at
Technical University of Crete. I've contributed to NextcloudPi
during DigitalOcean's Hacktoberfest 2018 (Adding functionality to
NCP's fail2ban config files). I've, also, met mr. Iosifidis at
Fosscomm 2018 in Iraklion.
Primarily I write in Python. But I have some experience in Bash,
mainly because I've been administering Linux servers for 10 years.
I've no experience in Java, and I'd like to ask to what extent is
that needed for NCP. Also, I've been running my own website since
2012, and I've created some others, without using a CMS, (i.e. I
can write in HTML/CSS and I've a good understanding of Javascript.
How does that sound? I'm interested in reading your answers.

Hello Mr Dimitris Maroulidis
I am Pantelis Sarantos one of the mentors of NCP GSoC Project
It is always a good idea to focus to make a good plan of the
timeline you are going to follow while developing NCP. I would
make an assessment of the |tasks| and prioritize the easy ones first.
This project is really open for all students to propose their
views and their “code personalities”. So feel free to suggest
whatever is easier to complete the tasks (example use an existing
opensource project).
Also write in the proposal *the way you are going to solve each
tasks and why your way is good or better that others*.
Feel free to leave the Secondary tasks to the end of the timeline
in your proposal, if you think this is a good option. These are
to be developed if there is enough time in the end of the 3rd
moth of coding.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please ask a direct question if a task is not very clear to you
and I will try to explain it further. Most of the tasks are self
explanatory, but I understand that some might not be very clear.
I am here for anything you need.

Hello,
My name is Dimitris Maroulidis and I'm interested in the
suggested project for NextcloudPi
(https://ellak.gr/wiki/index.php?title=Google_Summer_of_Code_2019_proposed_ideas#NextCloudPi),
and I'd like to know more about what I need for the draft
proposal initially (i.e. what does it need to include). I've
made accepted PRs before for the NextcloudPi project. I've,
also, translated for the Gnome project.
