The Community Bonding period has come to an end, and I am now fully immersed in the Coding phase of the project. + +Progress So Far +--------------- + +Last week I updated my PR with required functionality for it to be ready to be integrated. I was having trouble with CI(Continuous Integration) pipeline in Github, I reached out to the whole team in GSOC and received support immediately, +I am really grateful to `Iñigo Tellaetxe `__ and my mentor `Serge Koudoro `__ for providing me necessary insights to fix the issue with CI. +I also put up another very small PR to fix the codespell issues happening in the CI. + +Expanding the Decorator Implementation +-------------------------------------- + +Building upon the foundation laid during the Community Bonding period, I have been looking into the expansion of the decorator implementation across more modules in DIPY. +I have gone through the required functions and tests. I will have to plan which modules are next for change with my mentor. +I will write comprehensive tests in this part as well. Also will be updating the necessary documentation as well. + +Refining Decorator Implementation +--------------------------------- + +I will continue to refine the decorator implementation based on feedback from the community and my mentor. This includes fixing any bugs, improving performance, and enhancing the documentation further. + +Lazy Loading Integration +------------------------ + +In addition to expanding the decorator implementation, I have begun researching for Task 2, which involves integrating lazy loading into DIPY. Lazy loading is a design pattern that can help improve the efficiency and performance of the codebase by delaying the initialization of objects until they are actually needed. +I will begin this task when my mentor will advise me to. + +Community Engagement +-------------------- + +Staying engaged with the DIPY community is crucial. I will try to participate in discussions, seek feedback, and collaborate with other contributors to ensure the success of the project. + +Final Thoughts +-------------- + +The first week of the Coding phase has been incredibly productive, and I am excited about the progress I have made so far. The support and guidance from my mentor and the community have been invaluable, and I am looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. + +Stay tuned for more updates as I continue to work on enhancing DIPY! + +Thank you for reading!
