Week 13

 

Week 13 (24/07/2024 - 30/07/2024)


This week marked the end of my summer vacation as I returned to my university after two days of travel. I also took some time to recover from an illness before diving back into my work on GSoC. My primary focus was addressing and resolving comments on the M2.3 PR. After making the necessary updates, I received approval from both the LaCE Frontend and Acceptance Tests reviewers, and I plan to merge the PR by tomorrow.

One key challenge I encountered was related to site analytics, specifically tracking clicks on the volunteer link in the footer. The issue arose because the anchor link for "Donate or Volunteer today!" is embedded in an I18N key rather than being a standard Angular anchor tag. This makes it impossible to add a function that triggers an event in Google Analytics (GA) when the volunteer link is clicked. Additionally, we cannot modify the I18N key to use Angular code because the sentence structure for "Donate or Volunteer today!" varies across different languages.

After discussing the issue with my mentor, we concluded that it's not feasible to implement tracking in the current setup. We've decided to raise this topic in an upcoming meeting with the Team Lead to explore potential solutions.

Week 1

Introduction  Hi everyone! I'm Akash Paloju, a second-year CSE undergraduate from India, and I'm excited to share my journey through Google Summer of Code (GSoC) with you all. Over the coming weeks, I'll be posting my weekly journals here on this blog as I work on my GSoC project with Oppia.

Week 2

Week 3 Highlights (08/05/2024 - 14/05/2024) The week - 2  was all about finalizing my GSoC proposal and laying the groundwork for development. Having already received a tech lead review and resolved most issues during the pre-GSoC period with my mentor’s assistance, I focused on addressing minor changes to finalize my proposal. These changes included: Specifying the Lighthouse suites for which I aim to achieve a perfect score of 1.0. Providing a sample implementation for tracking the event ‘A user viewed the XYZ page for the first time within a week/month’ using Google Analytics. Finalizing the donor box form after insightful discussions with the design team and Team Lead. In addition to these tasks, I engaged in conversations with the Design team for minor UI modifications and the Partnerships team for document management. I held two additional meetings with my mentor to address the remaining comments on my proposal, ensuring its clarity and completeness. Finally I created feature...
