Learning and Success
Working on the project has been a great learning experience. My mentor has been very supportive and his inputs have been helpful in improving my work. The team meetings give a good overview of the overall progress of the projects. I like that there is always something new to learn. Few things which I learnt in phase 2 of GSoC are:
- Learnt many new scss techniques
- Leant some advanced functions of cakephp while creating command script and creating relations between ojs models
- Learnt time management
- Learnt how to access files from container and create function to download it
I successfully finished my GSoC and looking forward to contribute more to CDLI.
Difficulties
Setting up ojs database connection and creating relations between models was most important part of this phase and while working on it I got stuck at various points. My mentor helped alot in this. Solving those problems was a good learning experience that helped me gain better understanding of relations between tables .
Plan update
I will be working on creating documentation for the complete ojs workflow and publishing the submissions. Apart from this I will be working on my additional objectives like citations for articles, oAuth integration , ORCID integration and CI/CD pipelines.
