Projects

A website that showcases projects! If you want to use it and it's not exactlyfitting your purpose, please do make upstream changes. We expect this projectto be of use to others and we're happy to make it more generic so it's easierto adapt to other organizations. This was built by coala community, to viewlive 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 sametime. 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 allpoints covered - at the same time we can show students an overview and showingthe full information only when needed.
• A proper review process can be used for triaging and iterating on projectideas.
• Stop wasting time maintaining a mentors list. This can be generated from theprojects.

coala Projects supports multiple 'human languages'. To add a translation of a projectin a language, the following steps can be followed:

• Create a folder with language code in data/locale folder.
• Create faq.json, projects.json, faq and projects folderif they do not exist already.
• Add translated content of a project inside projects folder. The names of thefiles should be the same.
• Similarly translated content of a faq goes inside data/locale/ < language-id > /faqfolder.
• For the faq.json and projects.json metadata, refer to Bahasa and HindiTranslations available in data/locale directory.
• Lastly, in resources/js/app.js file, Add the new language json in Language service.
