# Projects

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 was built by coala community, to view
live projects visit [projects.coala.io](https://projects.coala.io)

(It'd be nice to have an organization YML or so e.g.)

## Purpose

This is designed for GSoC but can be used for other initiatives at the same
time. We use it for research theses, GSoC, GCI and maybe others in the future.

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.

## Multi Language Support

coala Projects supports multiple 'human languages'. To add a translation of a project
in a language, the following steps can be followed:

- Create a folder with language code in ```data/locale``` folder.
- Create ```faq.json```, ```projects.json```, ```faq``` and ```projects``` folder
if they do not exist already.
- Add translated content of a project inside ```projects``` folder. The names of the
files should be the same.
- Similarly translated content of a faq goes inside ```data/locale/ < language-id > /faq```
folder.
- For the faq.json and projects.json metadata, refer to Bahasa and Hindi
Translations available in ```data/locale``` directory.
- Lastly, in ```resources/js/app.js``` file, Add the new language json in Language service.
