Hi @Aklapper yes I still plan on taking on the task. However, if you noticed, I have flagged the project for later because I have been engaged in some other projects that have been taking my time.

Hello all! We are a mere 2 hours from the deadline. If you haven't already submitted your final application, please do not wait until the very last minute – anything could happen (connectivity issues, etc.), and there would be nothing we as mentors could do to help you in that case.

The last question mentions Outreachy internship project timeline:,
how should be go about answering this?

@NicoleLBee @Rossrosales What do you suggest when running the data visualization in task 2, Do I have to run the function on different five or more toolname? How are the fields that are frequently missing be identified?

@DAseneca I think it is important to read the whole thread before asking a question. Many common questions about the project are already answered.
Do I have to run the function on different five or more toolname?
You should be able to retrieve all of the tools for data visualization. The tool count is small enough for analysis.

How are the fields that are frequently missing be identified?
There is no one correct way, but one possible way is: you can create a function to get the count of missing fields per tool and store in a dictionary.
For example, {name_missing_field : count}
In this example, the highest count would be the most frequently missing field.

Below are some replies that could be helpful to find your answer.

For task 2, it is asked to "Visualize this data in a meaningful way." @Slst2020 @Damilare, will you please give some clue on how can I visualize the data(dict where the keys are tool names, and the values are tuples)?

You are free to transform the data in any way you need for your visualization. You could start by thinking about what you would like your visualization to look like, then figure out what your data needs to look like. Likewise, you can also extract additional data, if you think that would help you.

I hope this helps!

I have been having issues accessing my jupyter notebook. Is anyone able to log in?

Yes, I am also logged in the only thing I have noted is that it is taking a lot of time to load..like it presents a blank page for a long time you might assume it is not working.

Hi @DAseneca, yes you can use the link to your github repository as your contribution URL. However, I'd recommend you add a test link to your Readme.MD for a quick preview.

I'm not so sure I understand your question about the contribution description, but I imagine you'd want to discuss the project and your solution as a description of your contribution.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Slst2020 @Damilare I would like to know if I could use the direct link to the github repo of the project as my contribution URL?

Hi @Damilare @Slst2020, is there any particular convention for documenting our code via the readme file as specified in the tasks?

hello @Damilare @Slst2020 , In the project brief, you do mention we share a public link to PAWS project when we are done and for this front-end task I find it really confusing because I can't find a launcher on there for javascript if say I opted to use React for this. Because it mentions using git I did assume we'd be sharing the link to the public repository as a contribution. Kindly advise on this please.

Hi @Slst2020 and everyone,

And also, can I send you a mail to check some parts I have worked on mentor's view/feedback on them @Slst2020 ?

As I mentioned in the Zulip stream for this project

Woah! It's more than enough. Thank you @Slst2020

Some of you have submitted what you have so far to get feedback on whether your work is going in the right direction or not. Please keep in mind that due the high number of applicants, mentors can only provide feedback once per microtask during the contribution period.

Those who have asked for feedback on in-progress work on the backend API task have received some general advise that I'm now sharing with everybody here:

• Make sure to include tests for all your functions
• If you have imported a specific library once somewhere in the notebook, it's available to the whole notebook and doesn't need to be imported again
• It's recommended to keep your imports at the top-level, and not inside functions or between code blocks
• It's also a good idea to keep imports in separate code cells so that you don't reimport packages over and over again when rerunning other code.
• It's good practice to give your functions and variables meaningful names, to improve code readability
• Similarly, it's important to document your code, using docstrings and comments where needed

You could use this as a checklist right now to self-evaluate your code; once you consider it finished, we will give you detailed and personalized feedback on your notebook.

Hi Aklapper,

Thanks for reaching out. I just want to know if we are working on an
already existing codebase or we are getting up a new one our self for the
project. And if we are working on an already existing codebase how do I get
the version control and where do I refer to for more understanding of the
task.

Thanks. Regards.

Please mentors @Damilare , @Slst2020 I need more explanation and also I can't really get a clear understanding or picture of what I'm to build on the Home,Leader board and the record dashboard, I'm confused

However, for a record management system, you should be aware of both design, functionality and feedback. Minimalist functionality: the homepage should just contain a search box that links to other tools such which are leaderboard and dashboard.

The homepage should also include the core functionality of the app: the task interface for editing tool info.

At a minimum, you would need to include a text input area with a submit button, information and links pertaining to the tool the tasks refers to, and the task prompt itself, e.g. "This tool has no link to its source code, can you find one?"

Hello, kindly clarify this statement;

The conclusion is that we will consider a piece of information missing only if it is absent from both the Core and Annotations layers.

• Does absent mean that an attribute in the model is not in both the Core and Annotations?
• Or, does absent mean that the key is present in both but the value is empty in both Core and Annotations?

I think an empty list is null it's just that there is a way to show that it's a list by adding the [ ] otherwise if it was a string, integer, or a boolean we would have used the value null

Correct, an empty list is to be considered a "missing value".

Hello @Damilare, @Slst2020 are we also required to include a language drop-down similar to the drop-down in the comparison site "citation-hunt"?

Aseneca here. Excited to be onboard opensource!

HI everyone. I am very interested in working on this project as it builds upon my long term goal towards developing and engineering Artificial intelligence systems. Please feel to ask me any question on the public chat and I will do my best to help. I am looking forward to a successful collaboration with the mentors and the entire team. Great to be onboard Open source!
