Baraza is a social justice innovation that aims to facilitate conflict resolution at the domestic level and among community members. Baraza, presented as an android application, will allow community members seek an audience with their area chief or local administration from within the application for disputes or issues they want resolved. Additionally, they should be able to seek professional legal council from within the application.

I am an undergrad in Computer Science Engineering (5th Semester) and have working knowledge on data structures and programming.

I do not know the development on android platform very well, but I can learn it in short time. I like your project idea as it is real life oriented.
Wondering how can I help you.

[Obadha]

Hello @HarshVardhanKumar , thank you for showing interest in contributing to this project.

Over the next couple of days, I will update the ReadMe with a comprehensive description and different ways in which people can contribute.

I will share the update when available.

Thanks again! :)

[jvallera]

Very excited for this project! sounds interesting and looking forward to reading more.

Hi @Obadha

Your readme file is off to a good start. I recommend adding some more info under "getting started" and "current status". In addition I suggest proceeding with these next steps asap, so you can start sharing the project:

1. Update your contribute.md file with a broad overview of how people can get involved
2. Add issues - specific things people can start to work on
3. Complete the check list above so I can share the project on Pulse
4. Publicize the project

Let me know what you think.

[Obadha]

Thanks for checking up @jvallera :)

Yes, the repo is far from finished. I have been chipping away at it bit by bit. I'll work on it faster to complete it in good time.

I should be adding tasks as issues and updating the Contribute.md file as appropriate next.

Here's a question I have for you, though. Given the information you have seen so far on the project, is Mozilla Clubs the appropriate category for this? Please advise.

[jvallera]

Great! Glad to hear it. Mozilla Clubs is the community associated when you submitted the project, not necessarily the project theme or category. We can add different labels as well that are more appropriate. I added open innovation for example, but let me know if something else makes more sense or if you prefer to remove the clubs label.

This is the image to be used for Mozilla Pulse for this project listing. :)

[Obadha]

This is ready for Mozilla Pulse.

hi @Obadha the project looks great. I noticed the link to the code of conduct on the Contributing.md page is broken. maybe fix this link, or just link to Participation Guidelines? :Smile cc: @jvallera
thanks! Zannah, Sprint Coordinator

[Obadha]

Sorry I missed that.
Fixed, @zee-moz

[Obadha]

I adapted from the Contributor Covenant, I hope that's okay. :)
