So phase-2 of Google Summer of Code just got over and we've seen a huge number of new features being merged. Satwik now has three times as many line additions as anybody else in the history of coala-quickstart, so that should give you an idea :)
This phase is essentially the core of his work: since the basic framework was laid out last phase, the past month or so saw a number of new features using these features. For example, coala-quickstart now supports parsing useful information from meta-files like Gruntfile.js, .editorconfig, package.json, and Gemfile. With this information, we now suggest and identify relevant bears tailored just for your project. Install coala-quickstart and give it a run! Do let us know if you face any issues.
The user interface is still a little raw, but Satwik's next course of action is just that: making various improvements to the CLI. This phase will probably involve a lot more discussion (and collecting opinions) than the previous two because, I've been told, UX/UI design is hard.
Anyway, until the next phase,
