A website that showcases projects! If you want to use it and it's not exactly fitting your purpose, please do make upstream changes. We expect this project to be of use to others and we're happy to make it more generic so it's easier to adapt to other organizations.
This page was designed for λ SoC. It is based off of a Coala's GSoC portal.
Why?
- It's way more appealing to students.
- You can search and filter projects.
- Project ideas as structured data are more concise and you're sure to have all points covered - at the same time we can show students an overview and showing the full information only when needed.
- A proper review process can be used for triaging and iterating on project ideas.
- Stop wasting time maintaining a mentors list. This can be generated from the projects.
Mentors and admins can define projects as JSON using the following structure:
{
"name" : "Write Project Name Here",
"desc" : "Write a one line Description of Project here.",
"requirements" : [
"The applicant has to fulfill this to get started."
],
"difficulty" : "low|medium|high",
"issues" : [
"https://github.com/LambdaIITH/iithsoc-ideas/issues/####"
],
"mentors" : [
"blabla",
"blublu12356"
],
"initiatives" : ["LambdaSoC"],
"tags" : ["Plugins", "CI"],
"markdown" : "Add the markdown file in data/projects/ directory. The name of that .md file should come here.",
"collaborating_projects" : ["Add umbrella and sub-orgs here"]
}Sample Markdown File
This file should contain Project Description and Milestones in following format. You should have atleast these three milestones for λ SoC projects.

* No exceptions to that. Changing the goals is possible together with mentors.
