Schedule

Timeline	Task	Work Done	Blog	Status
Week 1 (Due May 7th, 2018)	Community Bonding period	Joined Zulip, introduced myself to the community through the mailing list, started a blog. I attend online team meetings and online mentoring sessions twice a week. I started learning new technologies for the project, such as OOUI, and I am getting to know the existing codebase with guidance from my mentors.	First blogpost	Done
Week 2 (Due May 21st, 2018)	Community Bonding period	After consultation with my mentors, my project was replaced with a different one. The new project is pretty similar to the old one in terms of scope and implementation requirements. I went over its specs and mockups. I've explored the source code some more, mostly reading functions and inline documentation, then I started writing a bit of code and made a test commit to Gerrit.	Second blogpost	Done
Week 3 (Due June 4th, 2018)	Coding period	First encounter with TDD: added tests for a new feature idea. Stated getting my code reviewed. Updated project proposal (a lot has changed) and revised the schedule. Started implementing a limited version of the new filter Fetched categories from the API and learned about async and promises. Did a tutorial on OOUI, the UI library used in this project.	Third blogpost	Done
Week 4 (Due June 18th, 2018)	Coding period	Learned more about processing data fetched from APIs and using promises and their methods. Had pair programming sessions with my mentors. Had some patches merged into the code base: Adjust layout for saved filters empty state Update feedbacklink text Use the trash icon in the saved filters menu Using 'trash' icon instead of misleading 'clear' and changing 'remove' to 'delete' accordingly.	Fourth blogpost	Done
Week 5 (Due July 2nd, 2018)	Coding period	Had a few more commits merged. Worked some more on my API project in OOUI, learned how to write more generalized code and learned more about Wikimedia's coding style guidelines, the reasoning behind some conventions, etc. I have a new project coming up: updating Moriel's OOUI tutorial, that currently resides in her blog, and moving it to the OOUI docs repo. I reviewed the tutorial and started up a Google Doc with initial ideas and errata, and installed the work environment required for editing the OOUI docs.	Fifth blogpost	Done
Week 6 (Due July 16th, 2018)	Coding period	Worked on bugs in Thanks confirmation text and animation Renewed OOUI tutorial (part 1) and prepared it for migration to OOUI official Docs and Demos. This task involved the following sub-tasks: setting up PrismJS for syntax highlighting, updating the ToDo app code to comply with the current state of OOUI's core stylesheet, updating the installation instructions, designing and implementing demo app boxes, and ensuring coherence and cohesion of the entire text. This stage of the work in now in review, as I proceed to the next step as discussed with my mentor.	Sixth blogpost	Done
Week 7 (Due July 30th, 2018)	Coding period	Modified folder structure Revamped Basics2 tutorial Made a page footer with links and a back to top button Created an index page with links both tutorials Fixed some problems in Basics2 tutorial, such as date/time display.	Seventh blogpost	Done
Week 8 (Due August 13th, 2018)	Coding period	Code cleanup: following feedback from community and staff members, I made some modifications and improvements to the HTML and CSS, making them more tidy and readable Tied up some loose ends with links, buttons and icons Made page footer responsive. Tested the final tutorial apps for appearance and functionality	Eighth blogpost Final report	Done
