Projects

A website that showcases projects! If you want to use it and it's not exactly fitting your purpose, please do make upstream changes. We expect this project to be of use to others and we're happy to make it more generic so it's easier to adapt to other organizations. This was built by coala community, to view live projects visit projects.coala.io

(It'd be nice to have an organization YML or so e.g.)

Purpose

This is designed for GSoC but can be used for other initiatives at the same time. We use it for research theses, GSoC, GCI and maybe others in the future.

Why?

  • It's way more appealing to students.
  • You can search and filter projects.
  • Project ideas as structured data are more concise and you're sure to have all points covered - at the same time we can show students an overview and showing the full information only when needed.
  • A proper review process can be used for triaging and iterating on project ideas.
  • Stop wasting time maintaining a mentors list. This can be generated from the projects.

Usage

To clone the repository and run this website on your local machine, type the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/coala/projects.git
$ cd projects
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

Then you can simply go to either of the following addresses in your browser to access the site:

0.0.0.0:8080
127.0.0.1:8080

Defining Projects

Mentors and admins can define projects as JSON using the following structure:

{
  "name" : "Write Project Name Here",
  "desc" : "Write a one line Description of Project here.",
  "requirements" : [
    "The applicant has to fulfill this to get started."
  ],
  "difficulty" : "low|medium|high",
  "issues" : [
    "https://github.com/coala/coala/issues/####"
  ],
  "mentors" : [
    "sils",
    "sims1253"
  ],
  "initiatives" : ["GSoC"],
  "tags" : ["Plugins", "CI"],
  "markdown" : "Add the markdown file in data/projects/ directory. The name of that .md file should come here.",
  "collaborating_projects" : ["Add umbrella and sub-orgs here"]

}
