<div dir="ltr">Great writeup Joseph! Let me know if you run into any roadblocks or have questions about how stuff works. I'm happy to review early or non-working code; just stick it in a <a href="http://codereview.appspot.com">codereview.appspot.com</a> review.</div>

I also synced my branch with the trunk - my very first commit. Spoke with Keir in the evening. We agreed that it'd be nice to tackle the work in small chunks rather than one big commit at the end. That's better for me as I can gradually get used to everything.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Then I got my first task: add constraints to the focal length for bundle adjustment. The user should be able to specify minimum and maximum constraints on the camera focal length and the bundle adjuster will only optimize within this range. This requires changes to the UI, libmv, and interfacing with Ceres. Of course, to begin this, I had to learn a lot about the Blender architecture. So for two or so days I was reading through the source and learnt about a number of things, including: DNA, RNA, python UI, operators, notifiers, spaces, the window manager, jobs, etc. Making notes, diagrams, and code traces helped a lot. :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>The plan was to try and get it done for today, but unfortunately some things cropped up so I haven't had enough time. I'll work on it some more over the weekend. It's been very fun.</div><div>

I'll also get some more of the first task done so it'll hopefully be ready for code review on Monday or Tuesday.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Once that is done, I'll talk with Keir more about where to head next and how it'll lead towards my main targets.</div><div><br></div><div>=Questions=</div><div><br></div><div>No questions at the moment that I haven't already asked. :)</div>
