[L2Ork-dev] GSoC 2019: Interested in contributing to the "Core Accessibility" project

[S Shashank]

Respected Purr Data Team,

I am an undergraduate research student at IIIT Hyderabad (http://iiit.ac.in/) and am working at their Robotic's Vision Lab (https://robotics.iiit.ac.in/). I have worked with large codebases earlier, have prior open source experience (https://github.com/talsperre) and am familiar with languages like Python, C/C++ & JS. I have implemented a simple bash shell using C and a mini SQL using engine using python as part of my coursework. 

I found the work being done in Purr Data very exciting and would like to contribute to your organization as part of GSoC. In particular, I found the project on "Core Accessibility" particularly interesting as the ability to access the data diagram using the keyboard would enhance the user experience a lot. 

I would like to learn more about Purr Data and had a few questions about the project as well:

1) Has any previous work been done on the same problem? If yes, could you please provide a link for the same. Are there any other packages that provide such functionality right now?
2) Its mentioned in the project details that an interface exists to send data about each object from the core to the GUI. Is this a work in progress or has it already been completed?

I have installed Purr data and am going through the codebase right now. Looking forward to work and contribute to Purr data.

Regards,
S. Shashank
