Synopsis

Prototyping inline comments (from the ideas page), this would allow users to select a portion of a text and leave inline comments that others and read and reply to.

Because of articles are being changed constantly, we need tags to start a new comment thread. when user clicks on the highlighted text for comments, using AJAX, the comments for that are loaded and the user has the ability to reply or add to the discussion. The comments will be stored in their own table so it doesn’t interfere with the main articles.

About Me

My name is Nazmul Chowdhury, i have a passion to understand what makes things tick. this lead me to Computer Science. Currently I am Senior at Hunter College -CUNY, double major in Computer Science and Economics. My interest in web-development sparked in 2011, I started to work on a website idea that would allow you to search for music from tv, movies, etc. and recommend music/artists based on user preferences. I didn’t know anything about web development at that time and learned on the way thanks to stackoverflow and w3schools. I Intern for a startup called VipArt(vipart.com), started out with minor CSS/HTML bug fixing and cross browser compatibility to developing major JavaScript applications for the main site and mobile specific JavaScript applications to take advantages of touch screen capabilities. After my internship I have free-lanced for a bit as a PHP developer, I am currently working as a Research Assistant, developing software aiding research in Bio-Informatics using Java, Hibernate, JSP, and Struts MVC framework. We plan on going open source as soon as our core structure is in working order.

I first stumbled across Wikipedia in 8th grade, when I was doing research for my science project. I have been, addicted to it ever since. Everything I am, is thanks to Wikipedia, it has got me through High School papers and now it’s helping me navigate through College. Wikimedia centralized human knowledge acquired throughout the centuries and continuously growing, and I want to make it better, better for me and better for the entire world.

Participation

I plan to use gitHub to store and version control my code. I am comfortable working under a mentor with electronic communication only. My support structure for codding always has been the stackoverflow community, and the internet in general this is where I will probably first look for help if I am stuck somewhere.
