Add UI for importing and managing firmware in GNOME Games
beginnerMentors: Student: Adwait Rawat
<p>Currently if a user wants to play a game that needs a firmware, they would have to go to the application's flatpak directory according to the information mentioned on the <a href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Games" target="_blank">GNOME Games</a> wiki, make new folders, rename some files and copy the firmware.</p> <p>The goal of my project is to allow easy managing of firmware in preference of <a href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Games" target="_blank">GNOME Games</a> such that this tedious process is replaced by a user friendly interface for addition and removal of firmware.</p>
Detecting Differences Between Two Non-Consecutive Commits For Gitg
intermediateMentors: Student: Mahmoud Khalil
<p>Currently in Gitg, We only show the differences between any two consecutive commits. One might find himself/herself want to compare between any two commits that are not necessarily consecutive, e.g. two commits between two branches, two commits in the same branch but aren't consecutive.</p> <p>The goal of this project is to provide an implementation for the <code>Differences Between Two Non-Consecutive Commits</code> feature. So using the libgit2 APIs, it's Ggit Wrapper, and the provided plan in the proposal, I'll work with the guidance of my mentor to extend Gitg Application with this interesting feature.</p>
GNOME.org: Evaluation of requirements, content, design and components for the refresh of the website
intermediateMentors: Student: Clarissa Borges
<p>The GNOME.org website needs a redesign (refresh) both in design terms and look-and-feel (UI) terms. This project is about the technical and content-wise evaluation for a possible refresh of the GNOME.org website. This project would include the assessment of the current state of GNOME.org by its content and then a full evaluation of design-wise and content-wise changes.</p>
Fractal: Multi account support
intermediateMentors: Student: Alejandro Domínguez
<p>Fractal currently supports only one account, if you want to be connected at the same time with different accounts the user has to launch several instances. This feature addition will solve this problem. To add multi account support, first of all work on the backend code is needed to make it more client independent, then work on the interface can be done.</p>
