Support for showing GitHub discussions

[rithviknishad]

Project Detail

Leaderboard collects data from GitHub and Slack to show off the work of our open source contributors

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, we are not tracking GitHub discussions of an organization. It'd be great if we could show discussion events happening in the org. in leaderboard.

Features To Be Implemented

• Add support to the scraper script to be able to scrap using github's graphql endpoint because discussion events can be accessed only via graphql.
• Scrapper should scrap discussion events and all participants of each discussions would have a reverse relation to the discussion event.
• Show latest 5 discussions in the leaderboard home page.
• A show more button should land to a larger page where all discussion events of the organization are shown.
• Contributor profile page should contain the discussion event if they are a participant or the author of the discussion.
• Enable reward for activity in GitHub discussion #68

Hello @rithviknishad @khavinshankar @sainak @bodhish @gigincg @Ashesh3 ,

I'm Prabhat Kumar, an enthusiastic undergraduate in computer science with a strong passion for full-stack development, especially within the MERN stack. I'm genuinely excited about the opportunity to contribute.

What interests you most about this project?

What intrigues me most about this project is its potential to enhance the visibility and recognition of open-source contributors. By incorporating GitHub discussions into the Leaderboard platform, we can provide a more comprehensive representation of contributors' contributions beyond code commits. This project offers an opportunity to delve into the realm of data scraping, GraphQL integration, and user interface design, all while contributing to a tool that promotes transparency and collaboration within the open-source community.

As mentors and project coordinators, how can we get the best out of you?

To get the best out of me, I thrive in environments that foster clear communication, constructive feedback, and collaborative problem-solving. Providing detailed guidance on project requirements, expectations, and priorities will help me stay focused and motivated. I value regular check-ins and discussions to ensure alignment and address any challenges that may arise. Additionally, I am always eager to learn and explore new technologies, so opportunities for mentorship and knowledge sharing are highly appreciated.

Is there anything that you’ll be studying or working on whilst working alongside us?

While working on this project, I plan to deepen my understanding of GraphQL and its integration with existing platforms. I will also explore techniques for efficient data scraping and processing to ensure robust and reliable collection of GitHub discussion events. Additionally, I am keen on honing my frontend development skills, particularly in the context of user interface design and user experience optimization.

We'd love to hear a bit about your work preferences, e.g. how you keep yourself organized, what tools you use, etc.?

I believe in a systematic approach to work and prioritize organization and time management to ensure productivity. I typically utilize project management tools such as Trello or Asana to track tasks, deadlines, and progress. Additionally, communication tools like Slack or Discord are essential for staying connected with team members and mentors. For development, I rely on version control systems like Git for collaboration and code management. I am also proficient in a variety of programming languages and frameworks, including JavaScript, React, and Python, which I anticipate will be valuable for this project.

Weekly Schedule with Clear Milestones and Deliverables:

Week 1:

• Research and familiarize myself with GitHub's GraphQL endpoint and discussion events.
• Set up development environment and tools for data scraping and integration.
• Begin implementing GraphQL queries to retrieve discussion events.

Week 2-3:

• Develop and test data scraping functionality to gather discussion events from GitHub.
• Implement data storage and organization for discussion events within Leaderboard's database.
• Design and prototype UI components for displaying discussion events on the homepage.

Week 4:

• Integrate discussion events into Leaderboard's homepage, showcasing the latest five discussions.
• Implement pagination and navigation for accessing additional discussion events.
• Conduct initial testing and debugging of the discussion feature.

Week 5:

• Fine-tune UI/UX elements for displaying discussion events on the homepage and dedicated pages.
• Implement user profile enhancements to display discussion participation.
• Conduct comprehensive testing and gather feedback for further refinements.

Week 6:

• Finalize any remaining adjustments or enhancements based on feedback.
• Prepare documentation and guidelines for utilizing the discussion feature.
• Submit final project deliverables and present the completed feature to mentors and the community.

This proposed schedule outlines a structured approach to project development, with clear milestones and deliverables for each week. It allows for iterative development and testing while ensuring timely progress towards the project goals.
