$ whatis loomio
Loomio is a decision-making software designed to assist groups with the collaborative decision-making process. It is a free software web application, where users can initiate discussions and put up proposals.
How does it look?
Something like..
What needs to be done?
Loomio is mostly written in Ruby, CoffeeScript, Vue, and JavaScript.
It has 89 direct Ruby dependencies;
73 direct Node dependencies;
and requires mdi (2.2.43) and roboto-v18-* fonts to be packaged.
Oh well, dependencies have sub-dependencies as well :c
In total, there are 134 Ruby gems and 127 Node modules to be packaged!
Thankfully, some are packaged; just needs to be upgraded or downgraded as per the version required.
*THE*
Master
Plan
And what happens in case of test failures?
Total work done till now?
➣ Almost all Ruby gems fixed & uploaded (50+);
➣ Test failures for gems fixed (except 2);
➣ Setting up loomio-installer;
What all is left now?
➣ Fixing and setting up loomio-installer;
➣ Fix and upload all the node modules;
➣ And then upload *loomio*;
Of course, it is not possible to complete the whole project by the end of GSoC :c
But I will continue to work on it after GSoC, with my DM/DD hat on \o/
