Week 4

 

Week 4 Highlights (22/05/2024 - 28/05/2024)


This week was a busy and rewarding one, filled with progress on several project aspects.

Backend Understanding and Feature Development:

  • Early in the week, I focused on understanding the backend code related to "updating blog post tags by blog-admin." This involved delving into the "blogs" section of the codebase. By analyzing the code, I was able to devise a solution and subsequently created a guide for clarification. This guide will be a valuable resource for the partnerships team for tagging the existing suitable blogs with the new tag. I then created this Pull Request #20346 for adding the new tag.

Collaboration and Problem Solving:

  • I had a productive meeting with a member of the Docker team to discuss a specific issue. I appreciate their assistance in providing a temporary solution until the main issue is resolved. This collaborative effort helped me navigate the challenge and keep moving forward

Week 4: Diving Deeper and Exploring Solutions

This week was a busy and rewarding one, filled with progress on several project aspects.

Backend Understanding and Feature Development:

  • Early in the week, I focused on understanding the backend code related to "updating blog post tags by blog-admin." This involved delving into the "blogs" section of the codebase. By analyzing the code, I was able to devise a solution and subsequently created a guide for clarification. This guide will be a valuable resource for future reference. I then formalized my solution by creating Pull Request #20346 for review.

Collaboration and Problem Solving:

  • I had a productive meeting with a member of the Docker team to discuss a specific issue. I appreciate their assistance in providing a temporary solution until the main issue is resolved. This collaborative effort helped me navigate the challenge and keep moving forward.

M1.2 Progress and Roadblock:

  • I'm happy to report that I successfully completed all components of Milestone 1.2 (M1.2) except for the bar charts section. This signifies significant progress on the project.

  • I encountered an unexpected hurdle while attempting to integrate bar charts using the google.visualization library. The library inclusion caused a noticeable increase in the About page load time. This finding deviates from my initial expectations.

Looking Ahead:

  • Next week, I'll be dedicating my efforts to resolving the issue with the bar charts and About page load time. Exploring alternative libraries or optimization techniques will be my primary focus. I'm confident that with focused effort, I can find a solution that meets both functionality and performance requirements.

M1.3 Triumph: I'm thrilled to announce the creation of the M1.3 PR ( https://github.com/oppia/oppia/pull/20457 ) on June 12th! This milestone represents a major accomplishment, marking the completion of the CTA section with all its components. Collaboration and Iteration: Demonstrating my commitment to continuous improvement, I diligently addressed comments on both M1.2 and M1.3 throughout the week. This collaborative approach ensures my work aligns with the team's vision and addresses any potential issues. The latter part of the week saw me tackling failing tests related to M1.3. Successfully resolving these tests ensures the functionality and stability of the newly implemented features. M1.4 Progress: Eager to move forward, I dived into M1.4. I began working on the...

Week 15

   Week 15 (07/08/2024 - 13/08/2024) This week, I successfully merged the M2.3 PR, marking a significant milestone in the project. In addition, I opened and merged a PR that updated the lighthouse configuration in the CI pipeline, setting the minimum scores to 1.0 for the pages I redesigned. This ensures that the pages consistently achieve a perfect score in lighthouse tests. We also had a PM demo for Milestone 2, during which I received valuable feedback on areas for improvement. I promptly incorporated these suggestions and opened a PR addressing the necessary changes. I aim to have this PR merged within the next two days, further refining the redesigned pages based on the feedback received.

Week 9

  Week 9 Highlights (26/06/2024 - 02/07/2024) Week 9: Overcoming Challenges and Optimizing Performance This week was focused on resolving critical issues and optimizing project assets. I successfully addressed all bugs identified during the M1 PM demo, resulting in the creation and merging of M1.7(a) PR. This accomplishment brings me closer to reaching the Milestone 1 . A significant challenge arose due to increased image size within the assets/images folder, which exceeded the 32MB limit for release. To resolve this, I collaborated with the server and org admins to optimize the release candidate size. Their support was instrumental in overcoming this obstacle. By optimizing image sizes and implementing the necessary changes, I ensured that the project remains on track for the upcoming release.
