Goals for the first half of the internship

 * Create the front-end for the web-tool to be hosted on tools-lab server.
 * Develop bot that handles queries in database (time-out deletion/queue handling/IPC-communication messages).
 * Extract meta-data from Google-Books and introduce system to check if book already present in IA(Internet Archive).
 * Create script to download from Google-books.
 * This will be done by extracting individual page image, and then converting'em to pdf.

Communication plan

 * I find IRC a quick way to contact to my mentors.
 * Email will be used when mentors are not available.
 * plan to have involvement of interested parties for testing/ suggestions.
 * For this announcement on wikitech-l, wikisource-l, commons-l, will be made.

Lessons learned since 21st April

 * Every task becomes a piece of cake, if you love doing it.
 * For queries, google cannot be as good as a real-time chat/email with someone experienced.
 * Before the core-coding, the set-up work does take a lot of time and edits.
 * Discussions and feedback make thing better.
