GSoC'20 : Week-12 of Coding Period | Preparing for TouchDown | Documentation, Minor Fixes and Initiatives for sustenance of project

Week 16 of GSoC'20

Documentation Updates

Currently, I am working on the documentation, penning down some of the important aspects of the App and GSoC'20 experience in all. The main topics which I am trying to cover in the docs(or you can say, an extended blog featuring my experience) are:

• Introduction
• Features Implemented and Relevant Pull Requests
• Issues Opened
• Tests
• Features to be Implemented
• Weekly Blogs and Standups
• My Experience with moja global
• Related Links(proposals, links to various APIs, frameworks used in the project)

Minor Fixes

There were minor issues like invocation of form-like editors from dashboard, which were resolved during the week.

Initiatives for sustenance of project

The two major initiatives which were taken to scale up the project are:

• Initially, during the pre GSoC period, I had pitched an idea of creating a dashboard which can control the execution of FLINT, check if necessary libraries(like pip libraries or vcpkg) are installed for smooth functioning of FLINT. But with the recent developments of the projects, various projects can be infused to create an universal dashboard, which can trigger FLINT(docker images or the core software), initiate my project to create JSON files, and visualise rasters simultaneously from a single platform.
• Also, I had pitched an idea of online storage facilities for JSON files, but as of now, the feature is not going to be included into the release, and will be shipped, once users of FLINT JSON Editor feels it to be an important one.

Also, I am thoroughly testing the app in this week, and will be putting up good-first-issues, which can be solved by new contributors.
