Motivation
I believe that working on this project would have real practical impact and what is more, I'll keep improving my skills and gain experience. I'm into open-source for several years and it's my hobby. I've worked on my own projects but I'm also maintaining packages. I'm author of fedora-gooey-karma, a GUI tool for Fedora testers. Most of the project I've worked on are written in Python or C and all of my projects can be found under the open-source licenses at my GitHub page: https://github.com/examon
Project Description
Summary of idea: The [web application] is used by QA to track bugs which are currently blocking release, proposed as blocking release or could be pulled into the release past a code freeze. While the app itself already exists, there are many features which we would like to see implemented including (but not limited to):
- Creating a RESTful API
- Tracking contents of TC/RC spins
- migrating css to zurb foundation 4
- search functionality
- improve the update sync process
- implement CI tools (make-ish file that runs pylint, tests etc.)
- integrate email (on error, on proposal, other thoughts ...)
- integrate fedbus (blocker X proposed, accepted, rejected)
- fix the admin interface so that it actually works
Knowledge prerequisite: Some python experience is required, the app is written with Flask so some experience with that would be helpful
Skill level: Intermediate
Contacts: Tim Flink (tflink)
Mentor(s): Tim Flink (tflink)
Implementation & Rough Timeline
I will try to implement as many features proposed by Tim Flink as possible.
It is kinda hard to exactly plan this project because a lot of may change in the phase of development, therefore I am only posting this rough timeline.
Upto June 17: Get familiar with blockerbugs code and workflow Week 1-2: Implement search functionality Week 3: Test implemented functionality and fix bugs Week 4-5: Integrate email Week 6: Test implemented functionality and fix bugs Week 7: Code cleanup and documentation Week 8-9: Integrate fedbus Week 10: Improve the update sync process Week 11: Get feedback and implement other functionality based on the feedback Week 12: Final test and fix bugs Week 13: Final code cleanup and documentation
