CDLI Blog

This is the CDLI blog which would be used as a review system for monitoring the progress of the projects currently active in CLDI Labs.

How to add a new program?

Create a new folder for a new folder in _blog folder. Further, to maintain the template, an easy hack would be to just make a copy of an existing folder and then modify its content.

For eg:- If you want to add a new program like intern20. So for that, make a copy of an existing folder like gsoc20. And then the projects inside could be modified further as per the projects in that program.

All the programs would be listed on the home page of the Blog. To update what is displayed on the home page regarding the program, you will have to update the _blog/<program_name>/index.md file.

For eg:-

For the GSoC 2020 program, the front matter of _blog/gsoc20/index.md looks like this:-

---
title: GSOC 2020
layout: page
author: ""
tags:  ["gsoc","gsoc2020"]
---

title : The title of the page. The title would be displayed on the top of the page. Further, the same title would be shown on the Home page.

layout : Always keep it to "page" only.

author : The name of Author. Please keep the name inside quotes("").If more than 1 authors, make it a list ["author1","author2"].

tags : These are the tags that would be assigned to the page. Please assign the tags accordingly, because based on the tags, the pages would be shown in the Tags tab.

How to add a new project inside a program?

Assuming that the program name would be gsoc20 and I want to add a new project into this program. Assume the new project name is testing.

So, for this, we would have to add a new folder named _blog/gsoc20/testing. To prevent any error, the best way, is to make a copy of any other folder in _blog/gsoc20/. Like a copy of _blog/gsoc20/api could be made and then it could be renamed to testing.

Now, every project has the following structure:-

_blog/gsoc20/testing/
├── index.md
└── posts
   ├── 01_week1.md
   ├── 02_week2.md
   ...

Here the index.md the file contains the info about the project. Further, it also links to all the blogs published during the project.

Further, more info about index.md would be

For the GSoC 2020 program, the front matter of _blog/gsoc20/testing/index.md should look like this:-

---
title: "testing"
layout: page
author: "<Your Name>"
tags: ["project","gsoc", "gsoc20"]
---

title : The title of the page. The title would be displayed on the top of the page. Further, the same title would be shown on the previous page where the projects of the program are listed.

layout : Always keep it to "page" only.

author : The name of Author. Please keep the name inside quotes("").If more than 1 authors, make it a list ["author1","author2"].

tags : These are the tags that would be assigned to the page. Please assign the tags accordingly, bcz based on the tags, the pages would be shown in the Tags tab.

How to Write Blogs for a project?

So, if you have been assigned a project for a program, for that there would be having a folder for you in the _blog/<program_name>/<project_name>.

Various blogs pages have already been made in a _blog/<program_name>/<project_name>/ folder.

_blog/<program_name>/<project_name>
├── index.md
└── posts
   ├── 01_week1.md
   ├── 02_week2.md
   ├── 03_week3.md
   ├── 04_week4.md
   ├── 05_eval1.md
   ├── 06_week5.md
   ├── 07_week6.md
   ├── 08_week7.md
   ├── 09_week8.md
   ├── 10_eval2.md
   ├── 11_week9.md
   ├── 12_week10.md
   ├── 13_week11.md
   ├── 14_week12.md
   └── 15_eval3.md

Here the <project_name>/index.md contains the summary of the complete project. This can be seen as a final report which would be written at the end of the program summarizing the complete project. Further it also contains the objectives and various other details of the project. The front matter of <project_name>/index.md should look like this:-

---
title: "<project_name>"
layout: page
author: "<your_name>"
tags: ["project","gsoc", "gsoc20","<project_name>"]
---

title : The title of the page. The title would be displayed on the top of the page. Further, the same title would be shown on the previous page where the projects of the program are listed.

layout : Always keep it to "page" only.

author : The name of Author. Please keep the name inside quotes("").If more than 1 authors, make it a list ["author1","author2"].

tags : These are the tags that would be assigned to the page. Please assign the tags accordingly, because based on the tags, the pages would be shown in the Tags tab.

All the blogs posted in the <project_name>/posts/ would be shown at the bottom of the project page. These blogs would be displayed in the order of filename therefore, they have been numbered.

In the current system, we have 2 types of blogs in the <project_name>/posts section i.e. eval and week.

• week blogs must have tags [ "week", "week#n", "eval#m"] where n is the week number and m is the eval number that week comes into. This page contains the compiled work done every week in the form of a report. Further, it must contain, a small summary of everyday work which was done.

• eval blogs must have tags ["eval","gsoc","gsoc2020","eval#m"] where m is the eval number. This contains the compiled report of the work done in a month.

The front matter of blog pages is same as that of <project_name>/index.md front matter.

Please add more tags to every blog along with the current specified tags. These pages would be shown up on the tags pages. A tag search feature would be developed future, so make sure to add enough tags.

Tips

• If working on a page and don't want to list it. Add a tag of "draft" to your page. For eg:-

  tags: ["draft","week","gsoc","gsoc2020","api","eval#1","week#1"]
  

• Want to center align any of your text. Use the center tag like in HTML. For eg:-

  <center>
     center text in Markdown
  </center>
  

• 👨‍💻 :technologist: Emoji is not supported, instead you can use :man_technologist:.
