Impact

[edit]

The GSoC24 and Pushkar revamp using Django+Vuejs provided a critical boost for the Lingua Libre volunteers developpers. It put the project back into safe, sustainable territory. We are already seeing the impact with more volunteer Django developers manifesting interest to contributing this open source project in past 4 months compared to past 4 years.

Reception

[edit]

We acknowledged the state of LinguaLibre Django codebase at the end of the GSoC24 :

  • WMFR was reminded and is thankful to Poslovitch for the solid ground provided (Winter 2023-24), with healthy structure, unit tests, and detailed documentations.
  • WMFR was showcasted and is thankful to Pushkar laying the wall and roof (GSoC24), with step 1-6 (re)implementations, new design, new features (rich list, share list), expanded VueJs data flow, and support for Alpha deployment.
  • We noted the overall state of https://dev.lingualibre.org, with (1) major advances but also (2) multiples local shortcomings to fix.
