Improve the UI of Portus

[mssola]

Project Title: Improve the UI of Portus

Description: In this project we encourage students to try to improve the UI of Portus. Some known issues from Portus' UI are:

• Don't allow users access to the hidden team.
• Assets should be served differently. For example, it doesn't make much sense to serve the font "Pacifico" for every page, when it's only used in error pages.
• Create a help section: a simple link to our documentation could be a start, but we would like to hear more ideas.
• Improve the search feature so it also searches for teams and namespaces.
• The repositories container in the dashboard page is a bit cumbersome when there are lots of repos:
  • Allow a search filter.
  • Only show a fixed amount of rows, where the last row is "Show x more repositories", where x is the amount of repositories that are not being shown.
  • Sort by last pushed or last updated
• Allow the filtering of namespaces, teams and team members in the different pages of Portus.
• There should be an "Explore" feature where even non-logged in users could get a list of interesting public namespaces/repositories.

Besides the known issues, we greatly encourage students to try to come up with other improvements in this regard.

Deliverable: most of the tasks mentioned before should be merged into the master branch.

Hi @abhinavsv3, we don't know how many open slots does openSUSE have for GSoC yet. AFAIK, we'll get this information as of 29th of February. Whenever we know, we'll get back to you 😉

[abhinavsv3]

Yeah sure.

Hi! I am interested to work with this project too!
@mssola can you indicate an issue to begin?

[abhinavsv3]

@mssola @ChrisBr Can you also suggest me bug/issues to start with?

[mssola]

Glad to see so many people willing to take part on this project :D

First of all, what I would recommend is to get acquainted with Portus. Install it in any of the recommended setups, play with it.

Specifically for this project, you'll see current ui and ux issues. Some of them are even junior jobs. Take your time and try to fix either of those. Also, it would be appreciated if you could come up with an improvement regarding UI/UX, even if simple.

[ChrisBr]

Also, as I see that there are already three students interested in this project, please also consider some other project where we don't hat have students yet!

[msfernandes]

There is a specific irc channel for portus project?

[mssola]

@msfernandes not yet. We are working on that actually. I'll come back to you whenever I have any news on that 😉

[msfernandes]

@mssola where we can talk about gsoc?

[mssola]

@msfernandes for now feel free to use containers@lists.suse.com. The team working on Portus is subscribed to this list, so it should be fine 😉
