Hello I have also applied for GSOC 2016. I had an exam so I couldn't reply to the messages. I have some suggestions and doubts regarding the technologies used. I may be wrong in that case please correct me.
Mozilla addons - I think a better alternative may be instantsearchJS https://community.algolia.com/instantsearch.js/ . It is faster and the UX is pretty good. demo: https://community.algolia.com/instantsearch.js/examples/media/ planet - an option to use 2 themes (Day/Night) will be nice. It needs a better background and frame box design. reference: http://planet.gnome.org/ pootle- i like the translation site as it is now. some changes in color(to match with the whole website) and an icon is needed gitorious: this website uses gitorious https://git.sugarlabs.org/ but gitlab acquired gitorious. so should we move to gitlab (community edition is free) ? here are the features: https://about.gitlab.com/features/#compare MediaWiki: a custom bootstrap skin can be used which will match the website. It is optional because many people are habituated with the old one. link: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:BootStrapSkin main website: At the time of applying for GSOC I made a mockup which can be seen here: https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/2016/Redesign_and_recreate_sugarlabs_web_appearance I have also listed the problems in the current web page and how it can be solved please take a look. -- Venketesh Mahapatra
