<p>Currently Open Library has over 1.75M Members who borrow millions of books every year. This Project looks to develop Open Library further by improving it with the addition of new options to the newly added feature of Public Reading Logs and creating a new UI for merging Workflows. Furthermore, adding more books to Open Library via ONIX and the Internet Archive Wishlist and creating a standard bot to import new book metadata records from 3rd party partners (like BetterWorldBooks APIs, Onix Feeds, MARCs). The Project proposes to document and establish a pipeline to help other librarians to add books much easily in the furture. The project also focuses on improving System Reliability by shifting from a Vagrant based system to Docker and Ansible.</p> <p>Currently the Project focuses on three main categories:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Ingestion</strong> - Using the Internet Archive Wishlist and ONIX Records to import new books into Open Library</li> <li><strong>Devops</strong> - Using Docker and Ansible for better System Reliability</li> <li><strong>Features</strong> - Adding Features to Open Library for Merging Works and Public Reading Log</li> </ol>

<p>The proposed tool aims to collect, process, and analyze data from various Bug Tracking Systems. The outcomes by this processed data are easily readable reports in various formats, like PDF, DOC, and CSV files, that contain release notes and issue trackers based on detected bugs. The platform can generate these reports automatically, on-demand by the actor, or even when an event is triggered and detected by the platform.</p>

This project aims to get rid of the Node environment from the renderer process for Electron fiddle to enforce a stronger security model. Basically, with the release of Electron v12.0.0, it is now made default to set the contextIsolation as true which prevents the usage of powerful Node APIs in the renderer process. However, these changes aren’t yet reflected in fiddle’s architecture due to which it currently uses an outdated security model. Therefore, over the summer I plan to refactor Electron fiddle by migrating all the Node APIs used in renderer process to main process and later call them via IPC events.

Currently, Talawa has three major software components which are talawa, talawa-api and talawa-admin. Among these, talawa-admin is a web-based portal and talawa is a mobile application whereas talawa-api provides access to user data and features. We also have talawa-docs, which is a website that contains most of the documentation and can be found at “https://palisadoesfoundation.github.io/talawa-docs/”. Currently, the documentation website is being powered by numerous Markdown files which are being rendered into a static website with the help of Docusaurus. The challenge is to find and implement a way to generate documentation (in the form of static HTML files) from comments within the files, which can then be hosted on the site used for documentation. This will enable the documentation to grow organically with the codebase. We target to automate the creation of our documentation using the content of our code repositories on our existing documentation website. This will give Palisadoes the flexibility to maintain its Markdown documentation and its website more efficiently.

CCExtractor’s last stable release (v0.94) came out in 2021, and since then, the codebase has undergone significant modifications, with several major pull requests still pending integration.

This project aims at implementing the Sequence Collection specification designed by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH). The main goals of this project is to make a standardized way to refer to sequence collections as well as providing mechanisms to compare different sequence collections.

As the number of notes grows, it would be helpful to have a summary of notes to help users synthesize main ideas and arguments to identify salient points. The solution is to create an offline note summarizer feature that displays abstractive and extractive summaries at the beginning of the note editor and notifies users when the summarization process is done. This project will be the stepping stone for future AI features such as tagging notes, translating notes from one language to another, etc.

he AI-Enhanced Historical Knowledge Graph (AI-HKG) project proposes the development of an advanced, AI-powered knowledge graph that interlinks historical data sourced from the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine. This project aims to construct a searchable, interactive platform that visualizes the interconnectedness of web pages, academic papers, books, and multimedia content based on context, content, and temporal relevance. Through the innovative use of NLP and knowledge graph technology, AI-HKG aspires to revolutionize access to historical information, enabling a deeper understanding of the evolution of knowledge over time.

This project addresses developing a solution for extracting Swagger and OpenAPI definitions from less-known sources on the open web and common crawl. The solution must crawl through the common crawl Index files to search for API definitions, validate them, and index them which can be done by Elastic Search, which provides a simple and effective interface as a part of an easy search. The TLDR; is the solution that should function like a search engine for OpenAPI definitions. The proposal addresses the issue that the open-source strategy is attempting to address: finding Swagger and OpenAPI definitions on the open web, crawling websites, and common crawl for API definitions, validating them, and then consuming and indexing them for an ongoing search. The goal is to make it easier for developers to discover APIs by searching for documentation, repositories, and other common aspects of operating an API. This is part of an initiative called API First World Approach, which allows developers to easily discover APIs.

<p>Kibana Visualize app needs a new calendar visualization similar to <a href="https://www.elastic.co/blog/awesome-new-kibana-visualizations-heatmap-and-point-series" target="_blank">Kibana heatmap</a>, which provides single-day or multi-day events markings in varying colors based on different metrics. It should also play well with the visualization editor, filtering, and Dashboard.</p>

<p>Detecting the contents of license documents is a major task for software that automatically analyzes software metadata, such as package managers. OSS licenses can be detected automatically by comparing the license document with templates of major OSS licenses managed by SPDX using a string algorithm. However, typical string comparison algorithms are vulnerable to small additions of malicious wording.</p> <p>For this reason, SPDX has provided <a href="https://spdx.dev/license-list/matching-guidelines/" target="_blank">the guideline</a> for matching license documents. In addition, several license detection algorithms have been implemented. Among them, <a href="https://github.com/spdx/spdx_python_licensematching" target="_blank">spdx_python_licensematching</a> aims to faithfully reproduce the guidelines.</p> <p>The project is to implement the algorithm of spdx_python_licensematching with some improvements, so that package managers can actually use this algorithm as a library. The planned improvements are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Make it x100 faster, ~100ms</li> <li>Output more useful data like confidence</li> <li>Refactor it and publish on PyPI</li> <li>Make it more accurate</li> <li>Port it to Java and other languages</li> </ul>
