BookBrainz is currently English-only, limiting its global reach. This project integrates i18next with BookBrainz's React SSR pipeline to enable full internationalization: locale-detection middleware (Accept-Language + cookie), a language selector in the navbar, English translation JSON files, ~620 strings migrated across ~120 files, and a BookBrainz project on translations.metabrainz.org so volunteer translators can contribute immediately — with no rebuild required per translation update.

<p>Data Object Service (DOS) is an emerging standard for specifying location of data across different cloud environments. The goal of DOS is to create a generic API on top of existing object storage systems so workflow systems can access data in a single, standard way regardless of where it's stored. This project is an implementation of a DOS server, which is capable of exposing and hosting both public and private data from any cloud environment. In particular, PGP Canada and GCP.</p>

Plone, as a traditional CMS, has historically limited developers to using a single framework, namely React. To overcome this constraint, I propose the development of a decoupled editor. This solution separates frontend rendering from the editing pane, empowering developers to leverage their preferred framework for frontend development while retaining access to all Plone CMS features through the Web Editor. The Web Editor comprises a frontend preview using an iframe and an admin UI for content management. Both of which are connected through a Bridge API.

The current End-to-End (E2E) test coverage for the new React frontend stands at approximately 30%, leaving critical functionalities untested. This project aims to enhance E2E test coverage to at least 80%, ensuring comprehensive validation of the entire application workflow. By identifying gaps, developing additional test cases, optimizing execution, and integrating tests into the CI/CD pipeline, this initiative will significantly improve system reliability, user experience, and overall software stability.

<p>Music Blocks is being refactored to Musicblocks-v4. The current implementation of how the blocks are presented to users has several issues regarding the UI/UX. This project is an effort towards the complete overhaul of MusicBlocks, rewriting it from scratch while maintaining a good standard of code quality.</p> <p>This project aims at implementing the palettes, design reliable components to draw on the artboard canvas using the p5.js library and use better application architecture to ensure a smooth and reliable user experience.</p>

<p>The objective is to develop an Ionic 2 app which in turn will be using Angular 2 that will implement the PWA behavior. It will retrieve the contents from the Plone site using the Plone REST API. Going ahead with Ionic 2 will give us code re usability, we will get apps for Android, IOS and Windows simultaneously. Ionic already has a lot of inbuilt UI components, i.e material design for android, so styling will be easier.</p>

<p>A reusable web component that a website author can download, style/theme, and embed into their website to make comments work with minimal integration difficulty. Could require user to log in with a matrix account to post (so your Matrix account would let you post comments on any website which used this), or support anonymous guest access. Current repository: <a href="https://github.com/arnav-t/riot-embedded" target="_blank">https://github.com/arnav-t/riot-embedded</a></p>

<p>This project proposes a new test suite that shall be used for conformance validation. The new test suite shall be used to validate non-trivial network communication (HTTP, gRPC, websocket) among stateless and stateful workloads in the Linkerd data plane. The correctness of the interaction between the Linkerd control plane and the Kubernetes API Server will also be tested. This shall be done by carrying out extensive e2e tests of Linkerd features using a sample distributed application (data plane).</p>

<p>Strimzi is a project about running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes and OpenShift. An important component of Strimzi is Amqp-Kafka bridge which as the name suggests bridge Amqp clients to Apache kafka. The idea is to extend the capability of bridge to support HTTP client too. As proposed, The bridge will be able to provide an interface to link HTTP clients and kafka bridge.</p> <ul> <li>HTTP clients can publish messages to kafka.</li> <li>Clients can consume messages from kafka.</li> </ul>

<p>antiSmash run multiple instances of the submission page, depending on whether people want to analyse bacterial or fungal sequences, or run the production or development version. Those sites are very similar, but differ slightly in what features are offered. Currently this causes a lot of code duplication.</p> <p>This summer I will develop a library that will contain common components from bacterial-ui and fungal-ui repositories. The library will act as common repository not only for these two projects but to other future projects related to antiSmash and beyond.</p>

<p>Modify GeneNetwork to embed the BioDalliance genome browser in it. BioDalliance (henceforth BD) would be integrated into GeneNetwork (henceforth GN); not only should it be possible to view data from GN using BD, but the BD interface should be extended to allow on-the-fly fetching of data from the server as the user works with the browser, as well as add functionality for visualizing various types of data, such as QTLs and underlying genotypes.</p> <p>The goal would be to have the browser embedded in GN, and sufficiently and seamlessly integrated with the backend, so that the browser would be a valuable and useful tool in the GN environment.</p>

<p>In a matter of weeks, HTC and Oculus will begin shipping the first generation of VR to tens of thousands of consumers. While VR content is easy to consume, it is hard to produce. A-Frame, with its HTML-like syntax, has the potential to enable far greater participation in this new medium; but for this to happen, more documentation needs to be created, tutorials made available, functionality extended, and showcases created. I propose to help meet these needs with two projects: (1) producing a component to wrap d3.js, and (2) developing support for 3D panoramas.</p>

<p>Nginx is the second most popular web server and the most popular among high-traffic websites. OpenResty is a high performance web platform extended from core Nginx and supports integration of Lua modules. Though still there is a lack of any specialised solution for authorization based on access control models. This real need can be addressed by Casbin perfectly since it supports the 3 major access control models (ACL, RBAC, ABAC). This project aims to implement Casbin’s functionality entirely in Lua and support it as an OpenResty module.</p>

An interoperable automated framework for compliance testing has been developed, equipped with the capability to execute customizable test files. The framework's architecture is meticulously designed to support every OpenAPI specification. The compliance suite serves the crucial purpose of assessing the conformance of API services to their defined API specifications. Functioning as a GitHub Action, the compliance suite seamlessly integrates with diverse repositories, thereby fostering streamlined CI/CD processes. Comprehensive tests have been tailored for the Task Execution Service (TES) and the Workflow Execution Service (WES), integral components of the GA4GH API standard.

<p>The custom element API allows javascript authors to create reusable web components. The author can create custom element constructors and setup callbacks for when various reactions occur on the element such as when its attributes are mutated. While this was possible in the past with non-standard elements, this API allows authors to have more functionality and ensures that these custom elements will not be broken by future changes to the web platform. While this is a new API, new web frameworks such as A-Frame and Polymer are built using custom elements. As the usage of custom elements increases, it will be important that Servo supports this API.</p>

This project aims to enhance cBioPortal functionality by allowing users to seamlessly launch code notebook environments like JupyterLite directly within the application. This will empower users to perform custom data analysis and visualizations on their filtered and queried datasets without switching platforms. I am planning to integrate a standalone Jupyterlite server that will contain a Jupyter extension allowing us to overwrite the files. We will be modifying the data of those file, that will allow to work with that data. Right now, I have added the notebook in the UI and working on the data-transfer part which is going to be a major task of the project. Excited to contribute further on this project.

Template Playground is a web-based tool that allows users to create, edit, and test smart legal contract templates. Currently, the application relies on Ant Design for its UI components, which increases bundle size, and limits customization. This project aims to migrate the entire UI from Ant Design to Tailwind CSS, making the platform more lightweight, efficient, and maintainable. Along with the migration, I propose a new layout design. This new design will be introduced to enhance usability, responsiveness, and overall user experience. The goal is to create a modern, intuitive, and visually appealing interface that improves workflow efficiency for users interacting with contract templates.

<p>The aim of developing the Hawkular android client was to provide users with a seamless experience of monitoring their servers, by allowing general purpose inventory browsing and quick access to favourite metric and alerts. I plan to take this initiative forward and make the android client more detailed, stable and intuitive to use. I plan to do so by:</p> <p>● Adding support for full Alert setup and display.</p> <p>● Adding more details in triggers and improving metric graph visualisations.</p> <p>● Improving and rewriting the previously written tests for models and adapters.</p> <p>● Writing thorough UI tests using the Espresso testing framework.</p>

<p>Currently Thunderbird uses mbox as primary storage format for mails (locally). All the mails in a folder are stored in the same file with the same name as the folder and no extension. The messages are separated from each other by a "From - " line. The maildir format is also supported, but there is no converter for it yet. The goal is to implement a component to migrate a store from the mbox format to maildir format. In order to achieve the goal a new store should be created and all the messages from all the folders of the old store should be moved to respective folders of the new store in maildir format. The folder hierarchy of the old store needs to be maintained in the new store. The message copying should be carried out in a worker using OS.File to prevent other tasks from getting locked up for long.</p>

<p>An update to the public suffix list (PSL) is shipped bundled with Firefox releases. The current system creates the DAFSA binary file at build time. The list has to be manually updated with every new release and cannot be updated for people running old versions of Firefox. I will be working to create an update system using the remote-settings API in Firefox to deliver an updated list to the client periodically, the period is yet to be determined. The list will be published on the Mozilla remote-settings servers and be shipped as a binary. This file format allows for shipping the list quickly over the network as it is orders of magnitude smaller in size an can be parsed much faster than raw text.</p>

The next version of Music Blocks (v4) is currently setup using create-react-app, a widely-used tool but lagging behind in certain key dependency updates. As a result of which certain development features like Hot Module Reloading, are broken. This project aims to take advantage of this lapse and upgrade the core development tooling of the entire project, making it more seamless, with small developer experience upgrades, along with much needed dependency upgrades to make local development fun and fast. Along with these improvements, the project will also tackle the problem of improving production bundle size for faster loading, and creating a Progressive Web App for offline usage.
