Synopsis

The Wikemedia Education Dashboard Android app is an app that support Wikipedia education assignments, edit-a-thons, and other editing projects. It provides data and course management features for groups of editors — instructors, students, and others — who are working on Wikipedia, Wikidata, and other Wikimedia wikis. Users log in with their Wikipedia accounts (through OAuth) and allow the Dashboard to make edits on their behalf. The Dashboard automates many of the standard elements of organizing and participating in a Wikipedia classroom assignment, edit-a-thon, or other wiki contribution campaign.

The project aims to achieve the following objectives:
• Taking feedback from users about the current app
• Adding new features
• Fixing bugs
• improving the code quality of the app
• UI improvement of the app
• Campaign Details Page
• Local Database to add offline support in App
• Migrate app from MVP to MVVM architecture

Mentors : @Ragesoss, @Ujjwalagrawal17

About me

I am a graduate of Banking and Finance with so much love for software development. I am a life-long learner and love to be part of community building by way of organizing and volunteering at tech events as well as contributing to Open Source Software’s. This is my first participation in Outreachy Open Source Internship Program. This will be my first priority since I won't have any other commitments during this period.
During the course of the contribution period, I have been contributing to WikieEducation Android App. I have created some issues, fix some of the existing issues. I have fixed some bugs, handled some help needed task, Added some features and enhancement to the app. Contributing to the WikieEducation Dashboard Android app will impact the world in no small way as the app is a useful open source tool that aid learning and monitors performance.

Past Experience

I have experience working with Java, Kotlin, Android Studio, Python, Flask, Django, HTML, CSS and JS among others. Among databases I mostly worked on PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sqlite3 and among VCS I worked with git. Among continuous integration tools, I mostly work with Circleci and Travisci. Among OS I mostly work with Mac.
I designed a laundry application. I created a question and answer android application and a four in one android application that contains bible, devotionals, study guide and puzzle devotional application. The devotional app contains devotional for the year and fetches current bible verse for each day from the server.
I have worked on other android applications that make use of current google standard for android development using Kotlin and MVVM design pattern, App modularization, Kotlin Coroutine and dependency Injection. I also follow google material design guidelines when developing android applications. Most of my applications can be found here.
Aside Android development, I have also worked on a few web projects. I developed an event website for hosting free workshops in my community and portfolio website. I created APIs and a blog site with Python, Flask and Django.

Hi @Agatevureglory , I will like to mention 2 points:

  1. If possible add try to include https://github.com/WikiEducationFoundation/apps-android-wikiedudashboard/issues/145 feature in your proposal.
  1. Add some more time for taking feedback from users. i.e. (After 2nd Evaluation). We will be likely to release a new version in google play after phase 2 and will like to take feedback from the users.

Other things look good to me.

Hi @Agatevureglory , since for the week 2 tasks, things are bug fixes and doing improvements in the app. So you can create new Issues in GitHub for

  1. improving the UI in existing pages - specifically - my dashboard fragment, explore fragment, and course details page (student list, article list),
  2. Testing the app and fixing memory leaks in these pages. (in some pages memory leaks are there)
