Hi, I'm working for the Gsoc project: better rw rule tools and my mentors suggested me to send the weekly progress to the mailing list because other people can be interested.

Work done:

     - defining a basic UI that admit

           - write an example expression

           - write the matching / transforming pattern

           - restrict the scope where running the rule (now select classes or packages)

           - run a rule for matching / transforming

This week progress:

      - Show / Navigate the result after matching:

      - blog post about defining the matching expression: http://pharorwrules.wordpress.com/2013/08/06/just-want-to-match/

      - bugfixing

      - middle term evaluation

      - fixing repository and package mess (that I've done...)

For next week:

      - correct problems when transforming

      - vitualize the result after a transformation (rehuse part of the search result for this)

      - add tests for transforming 

      - blog post about rw engine (how to define a rule from the scratch and why I implemented my own rule that matchs and transforms)

      - (if time) define the matching pattern for the expression (is an expression, is a method? Should try with the best?), right now is matching as a method pattern and sometimes is confusing.

If someone wants to see more planed task can have a look to the Trello board in: https://trello.com/b/XqfJGqeB/flamel
